2 large ones in the large display tank at that fish store in sumner, not sure on the name. One was a darker tan with the crazy black stripe look and the other more white with the same black stripes.

Im thinking those were endli. Very similar pattern as a del but much bigger.

If you dont mind ordering online I suggest Aquatic Day Care out of Salem, OR. He gets in all kinds of cool bichir and will special order stuff in. I have purchased a few of my bichir from him. (sp. koliba-sadly jumped, weeksii, palmas palmas, gold dust)

was thinking about ordering from them @DMD123 . i'll probably do it sometime in the summer if i can't find a nice one locally.
@Addicted2CAs yeah those are endli, i have 2 myself

 

[lloyd378]

The ones in the display aren't forsale , sadly....

 

[Addicted2CAs]

I'd be willing to bet if you offered up they would sell. Seems those fish come and go too often for them not to be selling them. Worth a shot anyway!

 

[Addicted2CAs]

If you guys do put an order in for some I would love to get in on it! Thanks

The ones at Sumner are a Del and Endli, and they will not sell. I have tried to buy that Del every time I go there, the markings on it are very nice.

 

[L190]

@Madness yes it is. I have seen del at some fish stores but their markings/color was horrible, they were very washed out.

 

[DMD123]

Aquatic Day Care has Dels on their stock list at $65 for a 8-9". Since these guys are out of Oregon its only about $25-$30 to ship. So if a couple guys ordered it would be cheap on shipping.

@L190
Ever find your delhezi?

 

[L190]

not yet but haven't been looking all that hard

 

[lloyd378]

I missed one in puyallup the other day..... It was 10" and 30 bucks..... I called about twenty minutes late and she had just put it on hild

 

[L190]

dang, problem is most of the ones i have seen so far have very fadded markings. I'm looking for one that has sharp black markings and a greenish body. I got one at sierra a few months back but it didn't make it thru quarantine
