Identification help

[TxTitan]

I've been lurking around this site for awhile and finally decided to make an account. Awesome site btw.

I've got a 75g tank with a 11-12" Black knife, 10" Senegal, 12" peacock eel, and what I assumed to be a retropinnis bichir. After further research I have finally come to asking you guys.

Thanks for any help provided.

Looks delhezi.

Never owned one but think he may be right on the retro. Never seen a pattern like that in a del

Thought it was a odd patterned delhezi. I have both a del and retro but bother don't look like this. More toward a delhezi. Will see what the others say.

Looks delhezi to me, it has the cross in the forehead.

I would also say CB Del, and I thought my Del. was oddly patterned.

It looks like a delhezi that is commonly sold as a 'royal tiger'.

Awesome looking Delhezi! Keep us posted wuth growth later down the road. It's l reminiscence of some of the manufactured dels overseas that fetch high dollars. Nice pick up!

Thanks everyone, his name is spike and I've had him roughly 7 months. Went to aquatek here in Austin, Tx and he decided to follow my gf's finger around the tank there so she had to have him.

Top picture is the day we brought him home, maybe 3" in length. Now he is roughly 5-6 inches. Very slow growing and very chill. Doesnt ever freak out and go spastic. But he can catch more feeder fish then the larger Senegal

Also gets along great with the black knife, Senegal and the peacock eel. Haven't had a single issue EVER with them in the same tank.

Definitely CB Delhezi. One of my old CB delhezi(missing finlets)
