not sure how you'd tell if it's a del or senegal if it's an albino? not til it's at least 6" or so

Delhezi have a flatter head with more equal length jaws, while senegalus have a rounder head where the upper jaw is more protuberant. Also, delhezi have larger, and typically more, dorsal finlets. Delhezi typically have 10-13 dorsal finlets versus 8-11 for senegalus. The dorsal spines start closer to the head on delhezi than on senegalus or any other species for that matter.

their dorsal finlets count would be different (and along the same line, where the 1st finlet starts). the head shape is different as well.

edit: haha jesse beat me to it...and with more details :D yeah delhezi has a more pointed head, not quite sure if its flatter or not though compared to senegal
 
From the picture, I can't tell if it's a senegalus, delhezi, or a frozen French fry though. ;)
 
lol, did it come frozen?
 
Is that part of the 2008 that you were thinning out for? LOL
