Growth rate for Endlii bichirs??

[blauaugigengel]

Pictures of my bichirs. I have 3 endlicheri, one senegal. The senegal will be 2 yrs this May and is 6", the endlicheri are all from the same batch at the LFS I bought them from and will be 2 yrs in August. They are each about 9". Also, please advise if there is something I can do to make sure this does not happen with my 5 ornatipinnis bichirs. I bought them last month, and they are all about 2"-2.25". They have thickened up and grown about 1/8" since purchase. I feed them live brine shrimp, frozen blood worms, and tiny pieces of raw tilapia. Thanks.

They look healthy!

thank you. That's why I'm getting all bent out of shape, because I think they look healthy too compared to other grown bichirs I have seen on this site, except that they are smaller than other people's for their age... anyone else have ideas/comments?

anyone?

Maybe short bodied or maybe yours and mines are the same. I have always heard that endlis grow fast but mine grows slow too but it still grows around 1" a month. I think patience is the key.

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but the second picture appears to be a short body or semi-short body, but they all look healthy to me, so I wouldn't be too worried.
