Nice pick up bro. Great addition to an already kick ass collection

Thanks bro.. I really can't believe how thick these bad boys are. Almost looks like a short body endli in person and dwarfs my current endli in body mass.
 
Sometimes the "chubby" ones are females that are packing on weight and maybe producing eggs! I have two endi females (13" & 15") that out weigh my male (16.5") about two to one!

I agree as most of RKC's stock was females. The three I have are females. Soon after I introduced in my tank one of my males brushed up against my fattest one (side to side) and cupped her anal fin and started shaking furiously. I believe I was watching some Endli porn :eek: . My male is doing this w/two of the females I got. It's pretty interesting.
 
After using the bichir ID chart I am almost positive I do have a male and female. I had already moved the thinner male to another tank because he has always had problems with agression. As soon as I added the new bichir he was chasing her around and constantly biting her fins and face. I may try to re-introduce him in a few days.
