Hi, that's a Captive bred Endlicheri.
thank you guys....so i read about captive bred endlicheri and found out that they wont exceed 14" is that true....are there any other difference between wild caught and captive bred apart from the size difference....
CB Endli tend to stay a lot smaller.
Other differences are usually WC look much nicer. Having more uniformed patterns and (IMO) better head structure.
OK ,so here is the thing bichirs of any kind is rare at my place,and am really interested in having a collection of all different types,
i already have a senegal and was in the look out for other polys,so i find 2 of these guys and as you have ID'd them as captive bred endlicheri,
i understand that WC endi will get bigger and will have better head structure,but i was lucky in getting these captive bred in the first place,
so i am really exited about having them,and it will be great if someone share there experience of having captive bred endi and give info like growth rate ,diet, avg size, max size and share some pics please...

my 2 endi are currently 3" and are in a 40 gallon grow out tank,they will be moved in 2 a 180G when they reach around 8",they are not hanging out together like i see in other pictures in this forum where lot of endi are all together without any problem,my endi's always fight when they meet is this normal.
Yup, WC will be bigger.
The Endli in my sig maxxed out at 65cm.
I have never seen an Endli as big (in person) before.
Pretty fast growers, start to slow down a little as they get large.

Big Birtha:
(The PO. Bichir Bichir in front of her was bit bigger at the time of this picture, but the bulk/ girth of the Endli was away more)
