I am going to pick one up this weekend at 11" and tried to do a search on the forum, only thing is there is so lill info and I could not find nothing but pics and comments about him. I know they get big (thats a good thing)
and just wanted a little more info, like behavior, diet, life span, things like that...

Simply put its a regional variation of P.e.endlicheri otherwise treat it as you would any other endi.The care for any bichir is the same the only difference is the size of the tank-Anne

Ive read a few threads that have monster Bichirs and some say ten yrs to get that big. Does it really take that long to get a Endli to max size (or close to it)?

Well in captivity endli usually reach 24", and it definitely doesn't take 10yrs for that size.

So how long would it take? 3-4 yrs maybe?
