    endli for sure that big bottom lip and flat head gives it away.

    Delhezi would have a more sloped/rounded forehead and less pronounced lower jaw.

    BTW, it's a nice looking fish is it a new addition ?

    Thanks DC for the confirm ID. Nah it's not a new addition. I had this fella since he was 10-11" for about 6 months now. It's about 14-15".

    I haven't had a closer look to sex it. I'll check it out in a bit. Females are much bigger and girthier then males?

    Thanks King-el, As I recall it seems more male to me due to the larger anal fin but I'll check it out tmr cuz the lights are off now. Bed time for me and the fishies lol.
