Delhezi/Senegal advice (AND MY LOWBOY SETUP!!)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I currently have spiralis and dwarf sag. I also have quite a few aponogeton different ferns and anubias. They broke all the leaves off my tiger lily and did who knows what with the bulb, it has never grown back. Dwarf lily was mashed too, but thats in the basment and has made a good recovery. Some of the ferns are doing great some get broken up. Some of the aponogeton are doing ok if attached to rocks to be held down and dont get mangled in passing through or by. magpie magpie had her tank nicely planted I have her big female del who isnt to bad with the plants, but my two boys and the butt are the destroyers of plants. Instead of just going over or just picking their way through its like they get scared they will get stuck and go full power and thrash side to side til they are through. Wrecks alot of plants.
 
Mine are very gentle moving through the plants, unless there’s a tussle in them. Then all bets are off. But microsword just isn’t tough enough. Maybe some will root deep enough tho. A finer plant may do better after its established. Cuba or montecarlo. But I don’t want to go through the trouble to carpet it and then be proven wrong. No matter.

As long as they are not diggers it's probably fine.
 
Senegal and the Delhezi. Think the sens edible?
(His fin is growing back well)
I’ve seen the dels snap at each other, grabbing fins and the like quite often. The Senegal runs as soon as he notices them. But all the same. Curious what you all think. 1363770

Good to know. They’re certainly big enough to eat the barbs tho. Two mia. Three survivors for now.

If you have tongs you can spot feed the sen extra food. How often do you feed ?

Daily. Usually skip one day at some point, but the polys hear the tetra and barb eatting and come out and start getting feisty. The sen’s putting on weight, but spot feeding is a good idea didn’t think about that. Tilapia delivery service. :-D
