Delhezi OR Endlicheri

[PB&Jcichlids]

I’m skeptical about my new baby 2” “delhezi” because he seems to have a similar color pattern to endlicheri bichirs, just want to know if I own an absolute monster or not.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s a delhezi. Like 99.9% sure as the head shape says del.

Ok just making sure, it said del at the store, just didn’t seem to have patterns like my other dels
edit - is there a possibility that it’s a crossbreed?

Here, this thread explains better than I am capable of.

How to differentiate Delhezi and Endlicheri Bichir?

I like the Ornate bichir but recently have been seeing some striped bichir at the local LFS. The problem is I am unsure what species they are. They look like the delhezi and the endlicheri. How do I differentiate the two?
