Hey,
it's almost a year since I´'ve got them!

Hey,
it's almost a year since I´'ve got them!

Wow looks awesome, how big are they now?

Hey,
They should all be about 15cm long now!
A month ago they accepted Stint (frozen fish) for the first time.
I guess they'll grow faster from now on!

Those three delhezis won't be moved into my 150x50x60 tank when they larger...
'Cause I've got an additional (the 11th tank) with 200x55x50 (cm)!
I'm thinking about keeping them with other bichirs like Ornatipinnis but I'm not sure if an Ornatipinnis might be too large to be kept in 200x55.

Hey,
Just take a look at this picture!

Nice growth. Spotting looks nice toward the end.

So how much growth did you get in the year? Where are they at now? It's fun to see the size progression and overall appearance changes. Thanks for posting!

Hey,
They grew from around 6cm to 15cm+!
So about 10cm in a year.
Now since I am feeding "Stinte" (frozen fish) they are gaining mass and are growing pretty fast.

Very nice markings.

More Dels for the 6,5ft tank!
