I like the one with the one external gill. Both are great though! Dels are super wonderful.

Thanks just wondering the bigger one has been floating / suspended near the top It does not look like a swim bladder problem he is upright and in control but is this normal he is just hovering about 2-4 inches below the surface should I lower the water level to provide easy access to air?
