I keep seeing all the awesome Dels on here, and dont get me wrong, Betty is my world lol I love this fish she is so cool, and I wont think of her any less..

But is she a bland looking Del? Will she get more dark bands on her? Or is this what she is going to be forever?

I like her :) She has a great personality and is by far my most favorite fish ever.

ive seen alot worse, some with no markings at all. seems like captive bred dels have less markings. id say she looks good. the nicer ones tend to cost alittle more too

Thanks lol I know she isnt GREAT but atleast she isnt the worst! :D

I just didnt know what I was supposed to be looking for in the tank of Dels, I didnt know what a "good" one looked like when I got her, now I guess I didnt pick the prettiest one lol. I just went off of which one looked the healthiest and had no damage and stuff. They were all the same price..

Next time I know what to look for. :)

Its weird are the bands supposed to match up on each side? Hers do kind of lol and I noticed on one side she has more black than on the other.

I wish the shop that has them wasnt so expensive.. :( I would get another one in a heartbeat
 
That's a pretty nice Del! Nothing bland about her;) I've seen some with close to no markings:eek: I have a WC that has very light markings and pretty shy, but I like her:D
 
looks ok to me
 
Yea she is pretty cool, she has the best personality I could ask for, she is always out following people when they come next to the tank.

No, captive tend to have more markings.

I dont know if she is WC or CB I could ask the shop I got her from where they ordered them from and what they say..
 
Looks like it might be WC...I could be wrong though.
