I love your delhezi. I've had a lot of algae problems in my tank I've tried several things and I put a L137 pleco in not even thinking about algae control a day later no algae

Thanks thefredpit, theres an L187b in this tank believe it or not. But unlike my other tank he doesn't like the rocks? He prefers the glass it seems. I'm almost positive my algae problem is the finnex fugeray planted + I'm using. moving to a cheepy 36" led to monitor the differences. I've re-scaped this tank 3 times in the last year.
The Del was special order from my LFS they are supplied by Pan Ocean Aquarium USA Inc in Hayward, California. Liked his pattern so much I put full faith in ordering different species, hense the Koliba and the Ornate.

I like the L187b they look cool. The funny thing is I have bristlenose and I breed mystery snails so that tank has over 20 in it and they were not making a dent in the algae but I was shocked by how well the L137 did. My problem is WAY too much natural light

My Lfs guy ordered delhezi but said they may be endli as well. I can't tell yet, but they both still have their external frills lol.

Defiantly endli. See how the lower jaw sticks out past the upper just a bit, that marks it as lower jaw poly. Dels are uj polys or upper jaw the upper jaw sticks past the lower like on the sens.

Thanks for the ID guys! Is it congicus or endli endli?

Those are endli. Congicus are more "tiger stripe" looking. That looks classic endli pattern to me. I'm sure J jaws7777 , Polyaddict86 , or Hao will be able to back it up for sure but I'm almost certain.
