Thinking about getting an endi . I have two Senegal’s around 11” and a fat del around 10”. The endi I’m considering is 5” so I would grow it out to about 8 or 9” before putting them together. Think these types will work together? If not any other lower jaw types that you guys would recommend?
Here’s pics of my current polys

First of all the last pic is adorable, second it should be fine I have a 10 inch endli with my 6ish inch ornate and they hardly interact. The endli will probably get bigger than the others but nevertheless they should be fine as long as the 3 you have aren't to much bigger.

Thank you! , the endi im looking at says it’s a. 5”er, so I’ll see how it looks when it arrives. I’m not to concerned with the sens eating it, they’re 11” but not real thick, the del is very thick but is a pretty mild eater. I do have a grow out tank just in case. So you think these can all live together long term?
 
The Endli will be longer than all three in less than 6 months. More of an issue will be tank size for the Endli later on.

I’ve been reading that wild caught endis are the ones that get huge, I’ve read that cb get around 18-20”. Is that accurate?

The del Isn't an issue it is obviously chunky just keep an eye on the senegals just to make sure but once the endli gets 20in keep an eye on them as it might get the desire to eat the senegals.

Ok thank you, my sens are wild caught, do those get bigger? I’ve read wc sens reach 15-18”
 
I suggest growing out the WC Senegal prior to adding a Endlicheri. I've personally had CB Senegalus eaten by my CB Endlicheri.
