Been a while since I posted pics, so I figured I'd update today. I took some pics of the delhezi and crenicichla sp. venezuela, maybe one shot of the rhino pleco. I don't think any other fish are pictured (ropefish, african black knifefish, anostomus anostomus). Sorry if the pics offend anyone with their badness. One can only do so much with a cruddy point-and-shoot. :ROFL:
Enjoy!


First up, Crenicichla sp. venezuela. I knew these guys got darker with age, but I never knew it would be this drastic:


Here it is again, del in the background:


Headshot of the del:


Super-macro shot of the pleco, check out that eye:


The del hanging out in the java ferns:


The creni, also in the j ferns:


Finally, one of my favorite pics, just a shot of the del. One thing I noticed, look at the eye on the side of it's head. You can sort of see the inside of it:

Your delhezis got nice stripe. Did you get them wild caught?

Actually, I don't know. I bought it from my LFS a couple years ago, and I didn't think to ask. I've always wondered if maybe it was, but never asked. Here's a full body shot from when I first got it, if you'll excuse the bad pic:


It's stripes are still just like that, I'll try to get a full body shot of it now.
