Betty (pictures, HEAVY)

[pookie]

Just wanted to show you guys my Del. I love her very much, she is the coolest, and best fish I have owned in quite a long time.

Sorry for the sucky grainy cell phone pictures... Also, I will be changing out the ugly gravel for some black sand very soon, and new plants so ignore that lol

She has grown a lot, and is nice and fat from her shrimp pellets and tilapia!

She smelled the tilapia chunk I had just dropped in..

Munching.

I love the way she moves, mind you she never would eat in front of me, and the tilapia changed all that!

She wasnt very happy about her stalker Gourami. For some reason this one is always right by her or following her.. I think he is confused.

I love how their bodies move and their prehistoric looks !!

Okay, I am full now

Let me get REALLY close !!

This is her sitting up to see who is walking up to the tank

Saying "Hi!! Feed me?"

Fat belly sitting next to the heater..

Other fish..
The pleco who is being given up tomorrow, he is just growing to fast, and pooping to much, plus I dont trust him with Betty at all..

He made me a poop rainbow..

He has grown VERY fast due to the pellets..

He is a MONSTER already.. but he does have some reddish pink on his fin tips which I havnt seen before.

The female opal gourami..

Male opal gourami fighting over the one female...

They have very amazing coloration..

Well.. thats it for now!! More pictures when I get my new pictus cats, and the new sand and plants!

Its a 55gallon, as soon as I sell my condo I am going to invest in a 150-200gal I just like the size better.

I want to find a sen and get one for a friend, maybe even another del if I can get one with MUCH different patterns so I dont confuse them.

Nice pics. Del are my fav. poly. Perfect size. I have a 7" in black sand and he is turning green. Really cool.

Yea I dont like how she looks in the gravel (that and she could die off of it) it just makes her blend in way to much, she likes it though lol
