that will happen before they get length IMO. I thought my pike ate my ornate (4 inches) in early December/late November, turns out he got himself behind the background of the tank. Never saw him again until I tore it out and he was about 6 inches but much thicker. I was shocked but I think it’s because I didn’t see him everyday. I would compare an old photo you might be surprised

Actually it might have grown more than I thought, I did the photo thing
What do you think?
Second pic is about two weeks ago, first is when i first got him

girth is definitely there. I’m assuming your endli is an eater like most of them, i noticed mine grew the most with trout worms and massivore pellets. I feed them daily, morning and night. Keep them stuffed, just be warned.. the poop will come. LOL

Oh maybe I’m not feeding enough, mine is kinda picky, it loves tilapia, it will eat raw shrimp but doesn’t seem to like it and ignores pellets. I’ve been feeding him once a day, maybe I’ll try twice

i would really try the worms, I believe it’s a natural part of their diet as well and pretty nutritious

I picked up a baby baby Ansorgii that was way too small and I had to do some shuffling around. Ended up throwing my 4-4.5 inch Endli to the 125g, after I saw this I quickly corrected that decision ? maybes he’s bigger than I thought..
