Can I put a 10" endlicheri bichir with a 20" endlicheri, or will the larger one eat the smaller one?

Depends on the size of their mouths. If it’s double the size If the mouth then should be fine.

had a bunch at different sIzes.
Depends if it's well fed, should be okay. But if you forget to feed, might be dinner but depends on the girth difference between the two.
I have only kept senegals and delhezi, no experience with larger species. Advice above is good.

I think I might sell the 10" endlicheri bichir and the 6" ornate bichir with it. I'm thinking $90 for the endlicheri and $60 for the ornate.
Unless it's a wild Endli you may not get that much, but worth a shot! It'll grow quicker than the 20"er anyway if you decide to keep it in growout
Well, I posted the the ad here: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/...i-bichir-and-6-ornate-bichir-for-sale.734212/
If I don't get any offers, how large would the 10 incher have to get before it can safely go with the larger bichir?
Also, where I live, $90 for a 10" endlicheri bichir is a good deal.
If it's similar in girth to the other it should be fine. Also, apparently at around 7-9" they stop secreting a growth hormone that makes them a target.

The 20"er has A LOT of girth on it. The 10"er isn't getting that fat anytime soon, I'm afraid.
