Since I'll be moving to a newer (and bigger) apartment at mid summer this year, I recently asked you MFKs if a 5 footer was adeqiate to place my endlis at my interior patio at my office. Your answer was that it was pretty good for two endlis.

I saw a Perfecto 70 Corner tank that, if apropiate for endlis, should allow me to take them to our new house (wife is making sure I perform an aesthetic upgrade for tanks outside my fish room: of course I'll have a room dedicated to fish only)

I draw this croquis (not scaled) so you get an idea how it looks like.

Thing is corner tanks are fairly good for low light systems. If good for endlis I should separate it now (only one available in this island).

Thank you

a young endli will grow really fast till they reach about 14'' in just about less than a year, and then it slows down, I had this experience before but then again it also depends on the food that you feed them. If your endlis are still small, then yes it will be ok, but you will need to upgrade up to at least 120g depending on the number of endli you're planning to keep in the future.
cheers
 
It's hard to gauge what tank size is a good minimum. Sure some can get 20"+ but on the other hand if you had to build a cage for... let's say a human, some people get 8 feet tall and some weigh over 1000 pounds. Some will get big and some just won't. So yours may do fine in a 70 for life, you'll never really know unless you try it!
