I have

P. E. Endlicheri x 2

P. Ornatipinis x 3

P. Tegeulsi x 1

2 of the ornates and the Tegeulsi are in a grow out tank for now. The tewgeulsi is about 8" and the small ornates just a bit smaller. I worry about my big Endli feasting on them, lol, so for the time being, they're in their own tank.

Got:
7 x Endli
1 x Angorgii

Personally, I find Endlis a lot nicer then most of the rest. Yet they are one of the cheapest...

I'd agree

I'd like to own one again. I made a bad trade years ago when I got rid of this guys

Man he was a monster. How big was that thing?

I love Endlis too, the problem is that I love STs too. And 5 STs and 7 Endlis are way too much bioload for a 180 gallons... :(

Eken, Hows the Ansorgii doing? Thats also a sweet lower jaw bichir

The Ansorgii is doing really good. Pretty active and eating like a pig. But I still like the color contrast better on an Endli.

I read many times that Ansorgii max out at 11-12'', yet seen some pictures of monster Ansorgiis at around 24''. Hope mines get a bit bigger than 12''.

Eken,

He was over 14". I never had a ruler up to him unfortunatly. He was in a petstores tank over a year and hardly ever moved. Unforunatly he did the same at my home. Even being in my indoor pond he would sit in one corner and never move.
