I didn't know they even CAME this small.... both of them are smaller than my pinky finger, and you could combine their width and they're still skinnier than my pinky, too.

Not worried about the larger one - he's nice and fat. The smaller one is very thin and is getting pushed around by the flow in the water. Bring on the bloodworms, boys and girls.

I have been thinkin about driving out to his place to get a few fish, the endi being high on the list. Good luck with your new fish.
 
Good luck, make sure you keep us updated as they grow on. only ever had senegals at that size but if you wanna get them to grow up quick chop shrimp up for them, always found bloodworm doesn't add too much growth. with shrimp they get the protein and that's what brings them on quick.
 
I would like to mention something... just for those people out there considering purchasing from their online store.

I ordered these fish in the very beginning of December. Their website listed them as in stock, so I went ahead and paid with my credit card. Received an email the next day saying the baby Endi was actually OUT of stock, and was asked if I'd rather cancel the transaction, wait on the babies to come in or apply the money towards what they call a "jumbo" endi, which was 7''. I said I'd wait because they thought they'd have Endis in a week or so. Was contacted again right before Christmas, saying they still were out and didn't expect them until January. Again I said I'd wait. I was contacted just after Christmas, I think last Thursday or Friday, saying the fish were finally in and when would I ideally like them to be delivered. I listed all the times for this entire week and next when I *could* be home, and asked them to please let me know when they sent the fish. I did not hear back from them, and the Endis just showed up at my door this morning. Thank God we were home. I double checked my inbox to see if I'd missed an email from them telling me when to expect them, but they never sent it. I just got lucky, very very lucky. Something to keep in mind...
