Home Made Delhezi Growout

[elbeatch]

Alright so I cut some lexan to fit and drilled holes in it, bound the two pieces together with fishing line (nice and tight, no snags) and buried the bottom in sand, tied a piece of coral to it for weight and suction cupped it in place. I put it in the corner with the bubble wand and it's right up against the sponge filter, water is circulating well. I put a separate thermometer to make sure. Here are a few pictures, it measures at 11"X15"X24, and is in my main poly tank.

If anyone has any experiences or advice, def let me know. Friday (tomorrow) should be the day I pick up my first del! SOOOOOO EXCITED ! Will def post pics on the asap!

Here's the new Del, he doesn't have a lot of stripes, do they get more and darker as they get older? He's fairly plain, no full black bars but still great to me.

its CB specimen and what ya see is pretty much what its gonna be-Anne

 

[elbeatch]

what's CB? Cute baby? lol. He's a hard guy to take a pic of because he has matched my substrate so well once he's in the viewfinder he's hard to see, I'll get some pics as he grows.

captive bred (can't tell if you were joking)

and the only color changes you'll see is if you switch substrates to something darker, then his base color will get darker, but not the stripes.

thanks! I was actually being serious, haha. I've never seen a del that was that plain, is that because he's CB?

 

[X24]

no, not really. most captive bred ones people go with selective breeding, so if anything CB ones will get more deffined markings.

I find that WC specimens have solid stripes whereas CB delhezis have broken, irregular all over the place stripes.
