I'm was pretty sure he was. Never seen one so young tho, so it threw me a little. Ill be putting him In his very own 20 gallon later today
+1Welcome!
You might want to learn the correct spellings on the species you're keeping. Here you go:
Senegal
Delhezi
Teugelsi
Endlicheri
Retropinnis
Also, be careful on size matching when combining upper and lower jaw species. An Endli or PBB (Poly. Bichir Bichir) might eat one of the smaller upper jaws that you're keeping or planning on keeping. I know your Endli is small now but it won't be for long.
Depending in the size of your other polys this guy may end up in a belly.
Most of us try and stay away from mixing the smaller upper jaws (anything other than weeksii, ornate, and teugs) with lower jaws, im not saying it cant be done but its just the way it pans out in the long run.
Enjoy these fish tho....they are awesome and will keep you on your toes
First Major Update.
Last night i moved a bunch of fish around, i put another filter on the 120, and moved my sengal and my delhezi in there, they look pretty happy with the tank, i moved my other fish in there to, my 3 sun catfish, my leaf fish and my female red Jewel Cichlid, which will leave is she gets aggressive, but so far she is not. my gouramis stayed in the 90 as to not be eaten by the delhazi along with my bowsmani, who nips at fins and my brown knife, who i am surprised hasn't been eaten yet.
the little sengal moved from the breeder net into a 20 gallon all for herself, ill be putting a sponge filter in there soon.
i think my Delhezi ate my lyertail shovelnose catfish, which i am quite cross about, since he was quite expensive i didn't think the del. would be able to do that. or hes just buried himself into the sand lol.
and yes, pics to come soon.
I dont know if i remembered to tell you, but my sengal, Who is my favorite fish and ive had him scence he was 3 inches long, her name is Kraken.
And my delheziś name, (shes a female) is dimondback.
i need help naming my others
My tegulesi
my endli
both my other sengals
my retropins
and the poli and palmas when they come friday

Of the 2 guys the polli is a bit bigger and much more active. The poli doesn't swim around as much but he doesnt hide in a cave either
The 2 new guys made my first 2 polys. Act different, the 4 of them are beginning to dogpile. A behavior I have not seen in them yet. And my delhezi is much more active. They went bizaro when live foods in there.the rest of the polys are doing great. I may move my 4 inch sengals and my retroponinnis into my 90 gallon.
