So every day at work I go home on lunch to feed the koi pond, goldfish pond, three guppy tanks and out door guppy tub and my Congo tetra who are in with my polys. While feeding the tetra I notice a particularly thick blob of diatom algae on a crypt leaf. So I reach in to rub it off.
Delhezi are decent at this camouflage thing.
My largest del (maybe 7 inches now...they’re growing fast and I love it) was hiding against the driftwood this particular crypt is growing on. As I reach in, he nips my finger. Obviously it didn’t hurt. But it made me jump and pull my finger out of the tank.
My hand was cupped, allowing my to scoop a healthy handful of water and throw it right into my face.
I wish there was video. It had to have looked hilarious. And disgusting. The water gets weekly changes. But still. Two eyes, a mouth and half a shirt full of water.
So that was my day.
