Pics Of My New Delhezi's!

[Maximus]

the rams would be food for the dels

Ah, I keep thinking there gonna stay
at the size they are lol

 

[rixy]

other tankmates that you could add are

blue acaras
rainbow cichlids(multispinosa)
festivums
senegal bichirs
ornate bichir

i have kept the above with my delhezi

you are basically looking for fish that arent too aggressive,that dont suck the slime coating off the bichir(no plecs or semiprochilodis) and that the delhezi cant eat.mine is in with a senegal,ornate and an african pike(hepsetus odoe)all is well at the minute.i think you need to make a full tank decision and add all your fish soon so they can all get used to each other and grow with each other.delhezis are a lovely looking and usually a very active bichir.they arent aggressive generally but,they may(or may not)eat smaller fish.my 8-9 inch senegal caught and ate a krib so i would suggest no fish(when bichirs are full grown)that would be less than 4 inches.hope this helps mark

Thanks for that, I'm having trouble trying to get them to eat.

Theres 2 that hide more then the others so i carnt get food to them.

Oh i used the string method about an hour ago (dont know if you
read that bit lol) And got one of them to eat some prawn.
So hopefully he'll know from now on that its food!

How do they know to eat the pellets?
Do you put them in overnight or something
like that?

Thanks for all this info

some red hooks or alike.

fish too lol
