Nice Endli. A 300g will be nice for it. They are probably one of the more relaxed (lazy) Poly, but they are gorgeous creatures. Just feed it a variety of foods like pellets, fresh and frozen seafood. And watch them grow. Well...they tend to slow down in growth after 12"-14"
 
Thanks for the feed seems really active right now but maybe because jar is following him lol I think he will be fine and I really exicted to see him grow what kinda of plantions does he like or caves tunnels trees?
 
your gonna get a nice dark endli :)
 
nice looking endli.. I also got my first one recently.. i got a plastic tube in the tank for mine, a cave and some driftwood but i see he prefers just chilling in the sand.. he digs his way under the pipe and sometimes sits between the plants.. it looks like he really enjoys himself.. goodluck with yours..
 
thanks a gain for the feed going to try a little plantation farm for him see how he likes it and if he takes to it i will add more any help on feeding habbits?
