I almost lost it on that last one where they're sharing the greens, too cute! Can't wait to see their colors come out in the next few months / years!

Lindsay had a few already showing their colors, but I love watching them grow up. How long before you start seeing any colors in them ? I've never had ornates before, just egyption .

Be sure to keep a close eye on them in the future. They may do fine as a pair, but ornates (especially females) are known to be cranky sometimes. Make sure one doesn't bully or beat up on the other. I couldn't keep my pair together after a few weeks - the female is nasty. Hopefully yours will do well together! They're quite lovely!

My male was a yearling when I got him and started showing his colors within the next year.
