12" Endli + 6" Delhezi=?

[Darth Scohin]

Okay, it's only been a few hours since I moved my Bichirs and Friends into my NEW 75gal, and somehow my Del got threw my Divider? Now he being 6" and about 1/2" thick is with my 12" long 1" thick Endli Should I try and get the del back into the divided corner or Should I not worry about it?

Put it back.

Better safe than sorry, but myself and I know others have had greater size differences with no problem.

I got a 6" del with my 12" endli with no problems. But all fish are different.

Thanks for the Input...I found where my Del squeezed through, if he runs into trouble....He'll go back through...Hopefully

It's always one of those things that I worry about as well. 2 of my Endlis are pretty thick at 10" and the Sens are a skinny 6" I actually had some Pearl Gouramis in there as well that were doing fine, but I got worried and moved them. I know there are some people here who have some pretty large Polys mixed in with some smaller ones with no problems, but personally, I wouldn't trust it. If there's a way to patch up that hole, it would probably be best...cuz if the Endli gets a hold of the Del, it may not be able to get away to squeeze back through it's hole.

Well Funny thing is he went back into the divided side....So if anything else happens I'll keep you posted

I have a 14 inch endli and a 6 inch del in the same tank and they get along great! For some reason they always stay together.

I have endi's from 6''-17'' and a 6'' del all together. Been together for months. It all depends on the fish.
