Wow, great shots again! keep them comming!

Its a female? I had it sexed as a male . But yeah its only him/her in the tank.

As for the ornatipinnis, they dont come by very often here as well. They are on the more uncommon side. I tried placing 2 ornates together but one of them got trashed. But its recovered and doing extremely well now, both of them.

Ya, i'd say female from the pic's, I don't want to side track the convo and take focus off the great pic's though, if interested check this thread out for sexing ...

Thanks DC for the conformation and compliments! Mine is definitely a female than. Just by looking at her colours. No sidetracing, im glad to have her sexed. At least now i know! But what a waste, the blue on those males are something else!

glad i could help then! and no waste at all shes a great looking female!. Males have great color on the fins but females are larger, still have great color and are much more outgoing. My female is always front and center meeting you at the glass. My male , as colorful as he is, spends 90% of his time under a log out of site.

yet again great shots I cant wait to find some ornatipinnis for my collection !

Thanks DC! Thats true on the female auranti, she is 90% at the tank waiting for me. Only rarely does she swim around. I wish u luck on ur ornate findings! A local shop here just brought in 2 more. i'd love to get them and group 4 tgt but i dont have the space.
