I've got a 10" delhezi, i dont have any pics at the moment as its a bit shy and only comes out with the tank lights off.

I was selling it a little while back but no one was interested in it.

damn,id have bought the delhezi off you cfc if id have known.if its ever for sale then let me know.my senegal and the delhezi are always out and about but my palmis polli is secretive.it only comes out when it smells grub lol.all my 3 eat those crappy jmc catfish pellets and they love them.i dont understand itmaybe the lfs fed them on this in the shop.i tryed everything on my old senegals and this was all they would ever eat.ahh well,they all eat like pigs.the delhezi is about 4 inches and thin.i bet it ate about 10-15 pellets today.it will be a monster in no time lol.

how long did it take to reach 10"?mine seem to be growing really slowly i might have to trade them in

Dels grow very slowly, mine's taking forever to grow. He's barely grown an inch since I got him, and considering how much he eats it's pretty irritating.

a year should see a worm turn in to a 10 incher no probs.i feed my fish a lot so they grow in to monsters in no time.my senegal was a 3-4 inch worm about 5 months ago.now its a 8 incher about as around as my thumb.trouble is,if your fish is shy,you dont know how much it eats.all my 3 bichirs and my 3 severums all eat in front of me so i can give everyone their fair share at feeding time.

here is abn old one of mine (with my P.palmas poli)

and here is one taken last night

 

[rixy]

looks a stunner wolf.how big is it and how long have you owned it

 

[The-Wolf]

approaching 9" had him around 4 months

 

[rixy]

lovely markings and colouration.what do you feed it/

 

[The-Wolf]

hikari sinking carnivour pellets, frozen prawns (defrosted), fishsticks/crab sticks)
whole muscle, cockle etc.
he also seems to like JMC catfish pellets.

 

[rixy]

all mine think jmc pellets are cavier i think lol.think i'll try them on some chopped cockle/chopped mussle.what about frozen sand eels
