Delhezi tank mates?

[Jeakle13]

Have 2 Delhezi in a 75 gallon and curious on what suitable tank mates would be? Would like it to be something predatory but just curious on what works?

Tank is filtered with a fluval fx6 and sump with overflow built in.

I would say anything that won't fit in their mouths and don't share their main swimming area.

My Delhezis have always gotten along with just about anybody, as long as they don't look like food.

However, my current Delhezi can be kind of rude when she is eating. For instance, if one of her dinner companions happens to have one of her pellets in their mouth, she will put their head in her mouth until they let it go. If Sgt. Maj. Blaine (bushynose pleco), happens to be sucking on one of her pellets, she will grab him by the fin and pull him off of it.

However, she has never done any damage and most of the other fish have learned to move out of the way.

In conclusion: Delhezis are great tankmates, but poor dinner companions.

My 3 dels get along great with their tank mates (fire eel and pleco) the bichirs love to lay and hang around the fire eel.
