They'll be fine til 10-12. Might as well get a 100gal when u change and RESIST getting more haha ( you'll end up upgrading soon if so). Endlis grow to about 18-21 captive, the upper jaws 12-14"
Am I doing this right?!?

Gues I gotta start saving some money now.
The resist part is gonna be tough.
Starting to love these fishes, even named them.
Personally i would say no to live feeders. Gave my rtg anchor worms, and killed my monoculus. If you are to cultivate in a separate tank your own supply, that would be good, but a varied diet works best. Looks cooler when your bichirs eat live though. Dont take the risk.
Fish stores usually feed live since its less messy for swallow-whole fish like bichirs, and most of 'em really do not care well for them. Your challenge: that delhezi of yours should look better in a month. That's a sign it's happy in its new home
Please don't keep them in a 25 gallon until all three of them are 12".
Yeah I wouldn't trust your LFS anymore, they just wanted to sell you those fish and straight up lied to you about your setup being adequate. Ask as many questions on here as you need to, we're all hobbyists and aren't out to make a buck. I also wouldn't keep 10-12" fish in a 25 gallon as ehh just stated. Check your craigslist for a cheap tank, there's always great deals.
Definitely don't feed them feeders as already stated.
You think three 10-12" fish are okay in a 25 gallon tank? Am I reading this correctly?
