Max size according to the primer for ornates is 27 inches and the endli is 32.

But those seem to be wild max sizes. On this site, you see peopel have some monster endlis in the mid 20's range, and monster ornates in the 18-20 inch range.

They don't grow that fast...They grow pretty fast up to about 8" and slowed down considerably...

You guys are exxagerating the growth rate. Just because a juvi grown from 4-8" in 4 months, it doesn't mean, they're going to grwon 8-12" in 4 months.

Most polys after 8-10" grows about 1-3" per year depending on species. I have a 25-30 polys out 12-13 species of polys from 3" to 20". I have seen a lot of growth rate.

All my tank runs under drip system, better than any water changes you can do..
