endli aren't neccessarly the most aggresive but they are definitely one of the biggest polypterus out there! They can grow to about 30 inches.

TBH Endli most max at 24". I've only seen one that was around 30".

Yup, like HAO said, they very rarely grow bigger than 24".

The fact that the OPs fish is a mass bred one would suggest it will max out a whole lot less than 24".

x2 Most CB Endlis max at 16"-20" or smaller depending on it's genes. My Endli is at 17", stopped growing.

 

[crisper]

endli as others have said imo ornate is more aggressive than endli. like the marking on yours.

 

[Spiritofthesoul]

Actually you can't call it aggressiveness. They just want to be fed
