Congratulations on your new endli,cant believe youve not put pics on though, lol,theyre my favourite.

Your plec may be ok,BUT 99% of the time its just not worth the risk so i would get it out asap,also if your planning on a bigger tank with more endlis etc what size tank for life were you thinking.

Agreed, and don't assume you "might" get lucky. I had a common pleco with my delhezi and the pleco would stalk him and than suck on his slime coat. And i want to see pictures!

Very much so, it opens them up to fungi and other nasty health problems.

Completely agree with cholly,as for feeding him,mine have never turned down prawn or try catfish pellets when i first get them and the two 4" delhezis i just got are eating chopped mealworm and massivore already:headbang2:headbang2

i dropped half a nutrafin bottom feeder tablet in and it landed on his head.. he ate the whole piece.. now there's a bulge in his stomach.. i hope he doesn't have indigestion problems.. it's also the first time i see him eat anything..

i dropped some frozen bloodworms in for him and my new oscar. my bicher, ill call him billy, hahahahah, found the worms first. he ate good, got a fat belly and laid on his rocks like a bloated hog in a mud puddle. i gotta do some more research on these cool creatures. i got my sen from petsmart. but theres a nice lfs that carries pretty unique fish that im gonna check into getting one or 2 more
 
Very nice Endlicheri, i want one again. Spoil him, feed shrimps, bloodworms, mysis, smelt etc. Ofcourse some pellets also.
