Realise its a tricky one to answer but what would be the minimum size Poly I could house with a 14" Endli?
I've 2 Endlis and 1 Lap which I'm growing out with a plan to going in with my big Endli. The smaller ones are around 7" at the moment. I know it'll depend on the fish but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks for any help

I’ve made that size difference work, but I have always had a group of polys. That normally curbs aggression. Just give it a shot and observe. That’s what I would do.

Anything is possible but ive had all sorts of size differences and never had an issue as far as someone ending up as dinner. Agression is a flip of a coin.

This endli was probably 17 inches the sen was less than 6 at the time

Man you have some monsters! I am hoping my endli gets upthere but I’m struggling to get it food right now. It’s around 12” though.
