delhezi disappeared

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i wont get another delhezi unless i can find one thats approx 8 inches or so.my senegal and ornate are approx 8-9 inches and the only delhezi i can find in cornwall is a 3 inch specimen that in my opinion is way too small to go in with mine.so to answer your question spoofsjsc,yes i still want a delhezi(cant find a suitable one) and no,the fire eel hasnt taken the place of the delhezi,but,it has given me something else to think about.i found the delhezi by the way.my tank had a funny smell(stinking :yuck: ) and i just got home from work,looked in the tank and saw a tail sticking out of my large jewel internal.i got some tongs and pulled and out came a swollen,stinking delhezi.christ did it smell.my fire eel hides in the filter so i keep looking in the filter to make sure hes ok and thats how i found the delhezi.the filters coming out soon as im looking for another external to go with my eheim pro 11 2028.the filter must have a heater in the filter.any suggestions????
 
I figured. IMO, its not very easy to fill heart spaces emptied by bichirs! :D

My palmas polli was sucked in by my external filter last week. my fault. i forgot to put back the tube's filter (the small net-like thing attached to the end of the inlet tube)... get it?

IF you need an external filter with a heater, you can try building a sump. you can put everything in there (heaters, UVC's, etc.).
 
thanks spoofsjsc.sorry to hear about your loss :( i think im going to get another eheim.maybe the internal heater version of the 2028.if another decent sized delhezi comes along then i'll get one

the 3 inch delhezi is at trimar in the uk.its £24.95.it has lovely markings and was 1 of 3.i bought 1,1 went up country somewhere,and the other 1 is still for sale.get it,power feed it and in 5-6 months,it will be a fat 8 incher no probs.mine would eat prawns,jmc pellets,hikari gold,lance fish.good eaters and very,very active.swim around all day long.if it was bigger,i'd snap it up.

This is good advertising. :D
I currently have 3 dels and reading this makes me think of getting yet another! actually, I'm kinda set on getting an endli as a replacement for the poor palmas polli but... let's see. :)

..and i did! :)

got my second endli last night. I think she's a sister of my other endli. ( they came form the same shop.) i actually chose the first one over her back when i bought it a few months ago. Little did i know that i'll end up having both! they were about the same size back then. Now, the 'older one' is 3-4 in longer than this. it barely grew! (but I plan to change that...)

nice endli!
