I can't remember what came in with them. I think it was either the lapredei I got, or some senegals. The lapredei I still have.
My ornate and synodontis angelicus are my oldest fish. This Christmas was 11 years with them both.
I've had bichirs or ropes steady for the last 12 years or so.

Here's a couple of new pics of the dels.
They are both eating like pigs.
As is usual with my bichirs, the female is a little B***H. Every time the male comes near her she grabs onto a fin. Had the same problem with my ornates when I originally got them. He's learning to keep his distance.
The head shot is the larger male. The others are the female.
They are eating New Life Spectrum Pellets, HBH Super Soft Krill pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, and frozen white shrimp.
The plant is bolbitis. This stuff is a weed in the right conditions, and the bichirs and ropes love swimming through its branches.
Here's a pic of one of the ropes. This is one of the females. The male is the smallest. I think this is the largest one, but I'm not possitive.
What a difference 2 months can make.
The female is now 8", the male 9". Courtship has begun with them as well.
Both are fat and happy and their colours are very nice. I'm just getting the 130 setup for them now.
