Two days isn't that long. They can go weeks without food, just give him time and don't stress him out.
Ya I think your right. Do you think that I should get one more though? he seems kind of lonely in there becauase there is such a size difference.
Right now its a 75 gallon. but its just a grow out tank because none of my fish are over 10 inches yet. But I have two senegal bichirs 9'' and 8'' and the baby is an endli and he is like 4''
Ha alright that makes me feel alittle better. This was a first for me lol all of my other fish have just started eating right away so i was alittle nervous about it. do you guys think that i should get one more? i was thinking about getting an ornate if i dont get another endli.
your 4" endli will grow in no time, but I would make sure that the endli gets a much food as it needs at that size. You'll be surprised on how much endli can grow in just 6 months, and soon you will need a larger tank for it. Btw, check out the polypterus forum, its the right forum to post questions and there are hips of info there,
