food is the factor man... endlicheris can grow to over 20" long... an inch in a yr? thaat's really slow.. what do u feed them?
Yup when fish are young they do their most growth to get from the bottom of the food chain into the place they belong in the food chain.
GARfield is still averaging a inch a month and he's about 12 inches right now.
My last sens took 4 years to hit 8 inches then passed away, the one I have now went from 2 inches to 5 in 4 months.
He's also eating and living in with the 2 ropefish, GARfield and a 5 inch comet GF. So he has access to a lot more food then the other one had.
If you feed them, they will grow. ( sorry couldn't help it)

I know right! I fed my bichirs 3 hikari sinking carnivore pellets each each day for 7 months. Since then I fed them a cube of frozen bloodworm each each day. And still they grow really slowly hahah

Thats cool! I used to keep some tetras in my 30gal once. But sadly they all died one after another mysteriously. Till now I couldnt ID the problem... but now the problem if I want to make my 55 gal a comm tankI may have to remove my darling bichirs.....

for the inactives ambush predator puffers a sandy substrate or a small cave or peice of driftwood may make it feel more comfortable
ouuh, well then, it's in their genes prbbly.. im not really familiar with these senegals, but i knw tht some senegals can grow to 1feet and some to only 12inches long.. i know tht most of the lower jaw species can reach big lengths.. ure food is great for ure senegals.. and if u bought an endli and feed it tht, he will overcome ure tank in just a few months, having trouble only just to make a turn.. soo, yeahh, if u have a 120 and above tank, it should fit an endli.. i have my endli in a 60g for now, making plans to trnsfr him to a 100 when he gets bigger.. and prbbly would just sell if he does not fit anymore and go with flowerhorns... but anyways, it's all on you on ure decisions.. my 30g im cycling right now is my dad's former red tail gourami tank.. he had it for about 2yrs.. and my friend bred his flowerhorn in a 30g and made well profit on the fries.. i dont know, some people are just lucky prbbly...
it's ure decision mate, I/we dont want to make arguments.. we're only here to tell what is true
good luck man GARfield is a Fla spotted GAR he's just under 12 inches now in a 160 G 6 ft tank.
Pic taken 4 weeks ago.
Only thing that's changed with the tank since that pic was a lid was added, another water polishing HOB, and two 12 inch rope fish.
Accept for the doors on the stand and a sterlet sturgeon the tank is complete.
On your puffers you are thinking about getting. We have two green spotted puffers in a 55 they are just plain mean.
only tank mates they have are a common sail fin pleco that's about 5x their size, everything else is food.
So, if you went with a puffer so long as he was big enough to start, the birchirs would leave him alone. matter of fact the puffer just might give them a hard time.
For our 30g Congo tetras, we are going to pick up a few more to fill the tank out.
