This is what ornate breeding looks like:

We have a group of 10 ornates. To trigger them we make a waterchange and add only cold water, that is to simulate the rainy period in the wild. After the water change we add a lot of food and the next day or so the start breeding. We have been doing this for 7years now and have had our first ornate for 10years.

This is what a small fry looks like:

Wow! They look amazing, interesting to see they all have the classic P. ornatipinnis fin bands, but P. endlicheri body markings.

Wonder how the endlixornate temperament is and is lifespan same as regular polys?

Probably same lifespan as the rest, temperment maybe the worst since you have ornate and endli blood which both are known to be aggressive in the UJ and LJ, joke
