Yeah, it's nice that the smaller fish have a size jump on the endli now, but what twenty said is true. Your endli is a tiny baby (as is your ornate) and is not going to stop growing any time soon, the others are going to slow way down / stop growing, and endlis are more known to eat other polys (vs. the upper jaws, which all of your other polys are.)

Just keep it in your mind, it's not a current emergency, but might need to be acted on in the next year. Each fish is different. You have yours in the order to make it work for longer (endli / ornate starting smaller than the other guys to give them a jump on growth.)

Ty for the advice. They're just the start of a future (5-6 months) tank. I feel like doing a bottom dwelling tank again and this time I do want to incorporate polys. I figure since they're in a festae/vieja tank they're fed well so they won't look at each other as food. The little ornate is quite greedy when it comes to feeding and I haven't seen a drastic growth but I'm sure it's eating well. I'll keep An Eye on the endli for sure bc he may not have the length but has the girth to eat the little ornate.
