Nah i got an array of bichir....on is a 4 inch senegalus that is a dwarf hasnt grown since i got him in 7 months back....and my 13 inch endli has never tried to attack him you'll be good
 
NO NO NO Dont Do it endli are famous for eatting other polys! there would be a very good chance your sen would get eatten. Not me mention that most endli are voracious hunter's and think they cant eat very large fish. Just look at this pic if you dont believe me. This was my 12 inch endli trying to eat my 7-8 inch gar

its possible you got tame one But Endli are known poly eatter's :( Especially if they are wild cought not so much the CB one's but they still do.

If you dont mind me saying How long ago did you take that pic? Beacuse to me he desent look like 13 inches but if might be the pic :)

wow WTF your gar got messed up. i recently got a 11 inch endli from my friend but he doesnt even bother to mess with my gar. my gars 10 1/2 inches. but he always trys to eat or beat up the 7 inch endli thats in the tank with him. theres also a 7 inch ornate but the big endli doesnt care about the ornate. they are chill, but the endli did grab the ornate by the head looked like something territorial but now hes fine with him. just once in a while the big endli snaps at the little endli. but doesnt try to eat him just territorial.
 
like most people will say it really depends on the bichir itself. yes endlis are natorious for eating other bichirs, but mine hasnt. i have a 18" lap that doesnt touch my small senegal
 
it depends on the bichir i've had a lap eat another lap but i have also had sucess with big and lil bichirs 2gether if they bichir eats live food its more likly 2 eat tankmates IMO
