If those J. ornatus are really as yellow as they appear in the pic, then these are really good ones. But somehow, I doubt it...

My curiosity got the better of me and so I emailed the Oregon Cichlid keeper to see if he has any pictures of the actual fish since both pics used in the ad are readily found in an image search. The contact instructions were to call/text but not email but no phone number listed.

Are you actually interested in getting some J. ornatus? I have a small breeding colony going and could probably set you up with a few little ones.

Just for fun, here's an image of J. ornatus that I pulled from the web, and two 'revised' versions that were just a few clicks away in Photoshop. Which one is the original, and is it 'real'?

I would say the first one is the original. I'm considering julie's. Not sure I would drive all the way to Portland to get them though. Wetspot has 3 different julie species that would be nice to have.
I did text the CL poster and he responded with 2 very short videos of his fish.

Actually the middle photo is the original that I downloaded from the web. It looks authentic enough to be un-retouched. The top photo has the color saturation reduced, and the bottom has it increased.

Photos are tricky, depending on equipment it's pretty hard to get clean colors. I'm always careful to try and not "overrepresent" my fish, but due to the "moderate" planted lighting (think looking into a Mac trucks high beams at midnight) I have to bring black point up, and saturation and contrast down quite a bit to get a side by side match. Most folks with the cichlids don't run nearly as much light as I do so maybe next time I'm over I should try and snap a few photos and see how they turn out.


Anyhow, on topic, I would do Portland one rainy afternoon the next few weeks just for voodoo's overpriced but delicious doughnuts. My boys love them, if we could get a fish room tour out of it even better . No pressure though, I'm looking for something they don't have and no point in buying fish we may have locally unless you need to outbreed a generation or two.

Thanks for the offer. @sir_keith and I are in negotiations

I run my Beamswork lights at 10% brightness for the 6500K bulbs and 100% for the actnics. I've been pleasantly surprised to see that Anubias do just fine with this low level of lighting, but Java ferns, not so much.
