I've been reading as much I can about endlis (and Polypterus as well). Some sources state they are all nocturnal while other sources imply there are both diurnal and nocturnal species.

Clarification on this issue is wanted.

Thanks

polys r nocturnal but u can train them 2 eat with the lights on some will give u a hard time at 1st tho mine eat with the lights on xcept 1 thats n a solo growout tank
 
My Endli is fairly active if I toss food in but otherwise not so much. Lights don't seem to matter either way but he does live on the darker side of the tank and doesn't leave that area for the most part. Where as some of the others (I have 10 Polypterus species) will chill in the lighted areas...

<--- He is my avatar right now too...
 
well my ornate and sen are really active during the day... my lap on the other hand stays towards the back where its dark.
