    The ornate eats strictly pellets. Not aggressive at all. I have pics of the ornate on gallery pics. I am looking for $60 and pick up. I will post what I have for sell in different post.

            Best food for frys is baby brine shrimp(BBS). You'll need to setup a BBS hatchery to always have BBS available. Once they're large enough start crushing something like NLS grow & feed with the BBS. They'll get a taste for prepared foods this way, slowly ween them off BBS. Gradually increase pellet size.

                  So bbs is my best bet. Option 2 is my cheap way. And slowly get them to small pellets. I have some finally crushed pellets.

                      Google/youtube: baby brine shrimp hatchery.

                      Mst LFS carry the eggs. Its super easy once you get the routine down.

                            So the severums left the eggs unattended and the other fish started eating them. I grabbed the rock out that still had about 20 eggs on it and dropped it into my 10 gallon. sigh.. They are protecting the rock again but not thing is on the rock. They are tail swiping and locking lips again.
