My recent forever growing collection

[Aw3s0m3]

How's it going guys? I just thought I'd start a thread to show the growth of my recent collection. I have 2 large guys in a 150g and 4 babies in a 40g. I'll just get to the pics and type as I go.

The 40g:

Here is my delhezi. It's only about 2-1/2" and this was the best pic I could get with my phone because the only lighting is the ambient light from the window and it would not stop moving for a clear pic.


My senegal is by far the fastest grower so far. I got him at about 3" and in a month, he's 5".


My little endli. It's about 3-1/2" and is the one that's causing me a lot of stress. I have not seen him eat anything dead yet so I think the store I got him at fed them feeders. That's all I've seen him eat and I do not want to continue on that path. Also, he is definitely cb and I think he actually has a little kink in his back. I'm not sure though because it ate a pretty large minnow last night so that might be what's causing him to sit kinda crooked.


And here's my newest and tiniest guy. My ornate is only about 1-1/2" and has a lot of growing to do. He's eating anything I give him, except massivore I can't wait for him to get big! Sorry about the blurriness. It also would not stop swimming for a clear shot.


The 150g:

I've been posting about my endli the past few weeks. He has recently escaped twice in the past 2 weeks, but is pretty much all healed up. I got this guy last year at about 8" and now he's about 14".


This is my lapradei. I found him in a tank full of senegals and got an outrageous deal on him/her. It's kinda skinny right now, but it's eating extremely well and in no time, it'll be nice and thick. It's about 6" right now. You can still see the bumps from its food last night. It ate 3 shrimps that I tore in half so it could swallow them easier.


Thanks for looking guys!

Just thought I'd do an update. All the polys are doing well and the little ornate is swimming with the others now. He's still a lot smaller than them, but no one has bugged him yet. The lap has definitely thickened out a lot and has been eating like crazy. It eats almost as much as the big endli. The sen is about 5" and has made his way into the big tank. He's still pretty small so hopefully the lap and endli don't try to eat him. I also added 2 more to my collection: a ropefish and another endli. This makes 3 endlis, 1 sen, 1 lap, 1 del and 1 ropefish giving me 7 total. I can't wait till all the baby's are big enough to go in the 150g with the big guys.

Here's the new endli. It's only about 3". A little smaller than the other baby.


Here's the ropefish acclimating. He's got some size on him. He's about a foot long, but the same thickness as the endli's.
