9-10" endli too big for 4-5" loaches?

what do you guys think, is that pushing it?

Ive never owned an endli but I thought they grew pretty slow.

I honestly don't think it could eat the loaches right now, and they have it on pellets not feeders, but if it grew much faster than the loaches it may outgrow them and cause problems,no?

Also as a side note I have a 7" wild caught ornate that is on it's way out because it keeps tearing off my juruense's streamers....could this aggression likely be because it is wild caught?Would the endli do the same?

hmmm I looked around again and it seems I must have had endli's and ornates growth rates mixed up.

it seems endli's are the fast growers?but what about after 10" do they still grow quickly?

bump

supposed to go get that endli today...err,anybody have any input on weather or not you think it's too big to go with my loaches or if it would eat juruense streamers like my ornate does?

I wouldn't do it.. I had 8 5-6" clown loaches with 3 12-14" endlis and they were trying to eat them. Even if there is no problem today there will be within 2-6 months.
