Different color endi

[Galantspeedz]

Both bought at about 4 inch from same seller about 1-2yrs ago.. kept together all the time

Initially both were same color but as they grow , 1 of them start to be more fair

Any idea why?

Genes, both are captive breed endli, one maybe has poor genes and one has a good one. Not all bichirs are made equal. Even with Wild Caught we’ll have one with good contrast, one with light contrast or one dark contrast.

Ok... as long as both are fine will be nice

Yes, just a sample, this are nigerian laps wild caught but all have different contrast.

All came from same batch.

Very nice.....any noticeable behaviour difference among them?

No, they all the same, eating they all the same also sometime they will eat sometimes they go fasting. As for growth it veries.

Mine slightly different.

Previously one eats pellets and one eats market prawn... now both eat market prawn

One was also about a inch or 2 smaller but has now caught up

This happens with every species totally normal. Head shape and patterns can vary as well

Glad to hear it's normal..... if not, got to see if the fairer one is stressed
