Delhezi diaries

[Hendre]

Some of you may have seen the "what's in the bag" thread a while back and long story short I got a little Delhezi! Cute little sucker for sure. Now that he is settled into his 15g growout I'll share some pics

Two weeks ago:


Today:




He's already fattened up and I'm quite liking the bars. Curious to see how the patterns change during growth

Looks good!
My dels are my favorites.

Ahh, what a lovely little bichir. I’m looking forward to watching it grow Hendre.

Cute and I love the title of the thread!

Another month later, he's doing well! Added a nerite to control the algae but the downside is the absolute volume of poop the thing pumps out. Ah well

Check this lil guy!

Put on some size nicely. That’s a lot of poop bro!

Glad to see another person's dels poop as much as mine LOL, i feed everyday which doesnt help.

that's why i don't have snails.

All snail poop man. I'll siphon that hunk out with a giant hose!

Oddly the Del didn't produce much waste (or the filter caught it all) but the snail really lays on the deuce!

that's why i don't have snails.

Yeah it's a tradeoff. This one eats all the algae, it's much easier to siphon poop then scrub algae off the bottom

im afraid my polys might eat one and get impacted.
