One of these beheaded a purple rose queen in one of the other store locations I filled in at... the assitant manager just brought him home himself after that because at that point he had killed over 200$ worth of large aggressive fish. I'd say home bred endlers are safe as occasional treats, because you know they're free of disease.

Hi
Judging by the size and description, these could well be abei's, please DO NOT keep these
in a tank together, they are smaller members of the target group but aggression wise they
are right up there at the top of the tree.
They would be fine together up to around 3 - 4 months but after that, forget it, I have heard of
complete carnage when 2 were together in a 260 litre planted tank.
One will be fine on it's own, but I would recommend at least 120 litre / 55 gallon tank with
lots of wood / roocky caves. If they are Abei's you will be pleasantly surprised by their level
of activity , curiosity and fantastic behaviour at feeding time !!
Good luck
Chris Grimes

Agreed. 20L is too small for almost any puffer.
