I have two delhezi's. 9 and 11 inches. I am surprise to see the eating speed and quantity they eat amoungest my other poly's. 9 incher is surely a CB. It has an extra large stomach. It gobbles down tilapia like a hog. And sometimes I feel it will explode. What's your experience ?
 
My del and gold dust go at food quicker than my other guys for sure. They are around the 8-9 inch mark. My Moke just eats on certain days.
 
I would say in my opinion that Dels, and Sens respond to food the fastest out of the polys I have:)
 
I have a 9" del that has just stopped growing. It is quick to eat and will eat just enough and then just stops. Cant get a gut on it and cant seem to get mine to grow anymore, lol

Not like it doesn't have space in a 210g and it main competition is the weeksii who is a super shy feeder.

That's my main concern. I have a retro and weeksi. And sometime these delhezi's and one tegluesi act like bullies. So I need to make sure they both have something to eat in that feeding session
 
Samething with my del. Sometimes i think it will explode. A few months ago i put 3 large molly from another tank into my 150....no way in the world i thought the del could eat them, the del looked like a bolloon the next morning and at the time it was maybe close to six inches.
My ornate has a good appetite but man that del can pack it away
