delhezi

Hey all! I'm about to switch this tank over to a sand substrate (finally), and then the whole gang's moving into a 120g later in the spring. So this is sort of the last hurrah for this particular setup, which has been running more or less interrupted for the last decade. The tank's a mess, but...

In this professionally produced, high definition video, we will see the species Polypterus delhezi in action feeding on nightcrawlers. This is one of the best polypterus videos on the internet. These are incredibly intelligent and beautiful fish. Highly recommended. Enjoy ...

So last night I heard a thud, which I'm used to hearing between the black wolf and odoe in the bigger tank, I didn't think anything of it but woke up to a dead del, everyone else is fine, he's not in a tank with anything aggressive, just did a water change. That's my only guess. Was a full 9"

I used to have a Delhezi that was pretty brown in color compared to some of the grey colored ones I see on youtube. Now I have Delhezis which seem like they are in between those colors. Does anyone perhaps know anything about captive bred or wild caught or different regions they come from or a mix?

Does anyone notice this and know if its a species or random individual characteristic? For example, the palmas bichir seems to have less spine finlets than the delhezi, and is not as close to the head as the delhezi from google images. As in, there is more space from the skull to the first spine...

I have 2 delhezi bichirs at 4 inches. Do you think the 20 gallon is too small? I was told a 40 breeder would be better. The size of food they can eat is literally crumb size and I was thinking it would be hard for them to find them in a 40 breeder. I am trying to get a 40 for when they grow...

This guy is a baby right now, but he's gonna be a beast.

Hi everyone, please give my Bichir video a look. He's little, but he's growing fast. I hope you enjoy

http://imgur.com/a/0MXNU I got it on 7/17/16 and took pictures over the course of 3 days to 7/19/16 It was really pale at first and kinda looked a bit pinkish but over time it colored up!

Why are they called armored bichirs do they have tougher scales or something?

Ive heard different word on if weather a larger bichir can coexist with smaller ones.. Some people say theyll be fine, others say theyll get eaten.. is my 6" senegal going to eat my bichirs? I have 2 other senegals and 2 delhezis all around 2-3". The 6" is currently in a 55 and the others in a...

Hello i just bought a new bichir. I previously bought a senegal bichir that was 2 inches last febuary 2016 and now its about 8 inches, so i thought i would buy another one and i saw a really cheap delhezi and had to get him. So anyway my question is, my delhezi is about 2 inches, how long will i...

So I have a live planted soil tank, capped with sand and some fish that surprisingly get along very well right now. Here is the list and their sizes 1 Delhezi Bichir (a thick 11-12") 1 Endli Bichir / or hybrid (still unsure about 12") 4 Yoyo Loaches (x1@4" & x3@2") 2 Bristlenose Pleco's (2.5"...

Hi, I am new to this forum but am finding I need some help. I just recently purchased a new tank from Craiglist and the guy that sold it to me wanted to rehome his bichirs. So he told me they were an ornate, endilicheri, and delhezi.. but other than the very obvious ornate I am not so sure or...

Hey everyone just got another question and I'm worrying about one of my fish I just moved so I had to move all of my fish but I also upgraded to a 120 gallon which is awesome, I can add some pictures if you'd like.. Tanks been up for about two weeks now I have been using safe start I transferred...

I have a 3.5-4 inch con right now and I have my eye on a 12 inch delhezi bichir? does the con have any chance or should i forget about the bichir? any experience with these two fish? tank is 75 gallons. the convict is all i have right now.
