Another juvenile Delhezi... should I?

[LTL]

I currently have a Delhezi of abt 4".. should be still a baby.

I went to my LFS early in the week and saw another batch of Delhezi.. abt 5" but looks kind of different. Their stripes are more distinct and meaner looking... They look more 'boxier' too...

There should be at least 15-20 if them in this small tank with a RTG aro of 10-12".

I was thinking of getting one of these as they sure looks healthy and active... and the price is quite a bargain too...

Would it be advisable to put another delhezi into the same tank, esp when it is slightly larger than the other? heard that bichers are agressive to similar sp...

''I currently have a Delhezi of abt 4".. should be still a baby.'' Yes it is

Would it be advisable to put another delhezi into the same tank, esp when it is slightly larger than the other? heard that bichers are agressive to similar sp...The size difference should not matter its only an inch.They should be fine together.-Anne

rule of thumb for bichirs, don't put in tankmates that are small enough to fit in their mouth, if it only little as anne said it would be fine

thanks alot.. went to get the bicher today... but got a sudden change of mind...
GOT a Endi instead!!! similar size of 5" ...

Hopefully it dun grow too fast... lol... trying to get a camera to catch the pics of my these 2 bichers, the Del and the Endi...

How long does Endi takes to grow to about a feet? 2 feet? Will my Del be able to catch up with the pace of the Endi in order not to get 'eaten up' in the end?

Used to have a 1.5' Endi and it fatally attacked my 7" ornate...

The Bichirs should be fine together. Hope you get a nice one!
