So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	I have 3 of these guys in my tank, and am planning on adding more. Can anyone tell me which they are, I have thought for some time that they might be Ornatus. This one is a juvenile still, only about 6 months old. I have an older male who is around 3 inches, and is definetly starting to grow his hump on his back. Rainbowfish Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

They have no lateral line at all, just a hint of reddish or yellowish orange on the rear end. With age the reddish tinge turns darker, almost deep purple or deep dark red.
