Average size of polypterus endlicheri endlicheri (CB) in Aquaira?

[quasar]

The title says it all. I've noticed with the captive bred poly sens people have a hard time getting them to grow past 6/7" from what i often hear. So i was wondering if anybody has kept captive bred endlicheri and seen if they get to their 32" np or do they stay smaller like the sens do? I'm asking because I'm interested in maybe getting one and i was curious if this happens to the captive bred ones.

From what I know, endlis stuck at 7-8" are usually short bodies and their girth just increases. If its a CB endli it will usually grow bigger than a foot or like what he said 16"

I've had mine for about a year and got it at about 12". The lfs told me that it was wc but in the entire year I've had it, I've noticed very little to no growth.

Most CB endli max out at 16-18" average and many other bichirs that grows to big. Even WC thats was raise from young will have average max size at 16-19". 20" or more is rare.

I have 3 captive bred that are 18" to 20" and two wild caught that are 24"

Granted, they from 8 to 15 yrs old.
