Fruju Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Love my new del, when do you reckon I will be able to sex it? Males get the fat anal fin right, do the also get the bulge behind their skull - want that looks sweet. Ornates are awesome, think I have a 1 male 2 females, but may be the other way around, one put on a growth spurt and is now the biggest, and is also the bully. All Bichirs around 20cm, Del is about 9-10cm. Jeff the arowana looks a lot better than the photos suggest (unbelievably difficult getting agood pic of him), great red fins + green sheen. I think I have 1 siamese tiger, 1 indo judging from the stripes both about 15cm, always scrapping with jeff 30cm+ :evil: - slow growers. Will probably upgrade tank nxt year and might sell the aro and the tigers in exchange for new fish, will want to get: another del, 2 senegals (gray), BGK maybe an cheap asian arowana - wish we could get rays here :roll: Hope you like! sorry a little blurry-cameras fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morcs Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 How old are the tigers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Pics come up now woohoo! I did it, jeez why is it so complex! thanks guys, bought 2 ornates + both tigers off a ex hollywood employee - about 250-300 bucks for them all 8) yeah score! Saw a different looking tiger in hollywood albany the other day - could be american, looks badass, not many stripes but silver all overr. What are the growth rates with delhezi's that you have experienced? What is the best food for making them grow fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Had tigers 4 about year, year and a half maybe, but dont know how old before I got them probably around 2 years i guess, emphasising the GUESS part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 By the way there is 3 ornates, 2 tigers, 1 aro, 1 del in a separate tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Delhezis will grow slower than the ornates, and obviously not as big in the end. Id suggest getting your del to a substantial size... if not full grown before mixing with your ornates (I assumed that was yor intention).

Morcs Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I want my Delhi to hurry up and grow Im currently starving mine so he actually comes out during the day. Only ever see him moving with the lights off. :lol: Heres my indo and del Hey Fruju what size tank is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Same, I want to put the del with the ornates but I am not trusting them right now because of their size, just before I had a pictus in with them and they all tried to eat it :evil: , NOT COOL. My delhezi is quite active when he isn't totally stuffed all the time, I just got a fire eel in with him and he has become quite sociable for some reason :-? , weird that he should be mates with the eel. Tank size is 215L in the photos (aqua one 980) which I want to upgrade next year to something more substantial, I have a smaller tank with the del and a fire eel which is around 25-30L which I will need to upgrade also as they get a little bigger too. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
