Very nice! Going on 13 months with our group. Looking to pick up another group of supposed f1's.........
Well done! Just keeping them alive is no mean feat so you have achieved the highest possible rating in my book of secretly admired cichlid enthusiasts.
Just as a side note I was wondering if anyone had seem the old ACA magazine with the ornatum on the cover. These fish look nothing like that fish and in color or shape. I`ll see if I can dig it out and post a pic for conversations sake.
Maybe it was`nt on the cover but there is a pic.

There is some question whether these are truly ornatum, or gephyrum.
I tried to access the article and photo in the old BBs, but now that they have switched format, and I've lost access, I'd really like to see it

Mine have not been overly aggressive as of yet in the community setting, although they do hold their own.
I have 5, the smallest is @ 3", largest @ 5"+, they are housed is 150 gal with 5 similar sized Guianacara sp, 2 belly crawler pike cichlids, and Acarichthys heckelli.
When they were juvies in a 50 gal, they were very aggressive with each other, until I added the (at that time) larger Guianacara, the Guianacara addition changed their attitude almost immediately.

Very interesting, thanks for the response. Absolutely beautiful fish
What an eye-popping gorgeous fish! Nice job!I have 9 WC at 2-4" in a 135 that are supposedly Gephyrum as well but who knows? Trying to find the location collection info but I got mine from Mark at Discus Origins via Aquabid.
