The endlis have been growing a lot faster then the del and i am a little concerned he might get eaten in the near future. What do you think:bichirs 004.jpg

Shouldn't be a problem. My 25" Congicus(thicker than soda can) is fine with my 12" Endli (skinny as heck, fresh wild caught). Just keep the Endlicheri well fed!
 
This the 12" Endlicheri in between my 21" PBB and 23" Ansorgii. Ansorgii is soda can size.

The 12" Endlicheri is in the far back. The biggest bichir in the photo is 25" Congicus,thicker than the 23" Ansorgii next to it.

Yeah, you should be OK.
Here is "Big Birtha", she is apporaching 27" (she is 67cm) possibly one of the biggest and thickest Endlicheri you will see.
She has a heart of gold. Here she is posing with my 12"+ WC Polli.
Never had any problems between the two.

She has damaged a few fish, but purely accidental while feeding. She is a very aggressive eater, chomping on her food with a massive vacuum, occasionally fish get caught in this vacuum.

Thats a Flash Juruense catfish.
It's right "tripod" fin is tiny as it was bitten off before by big bertha (as an accident, there was a shrimp resting on it at feeding time...) it grew back, but only half its size!
So when the Juruense does it's "tripod" stance, it's a little uneven lol.
