How about getting some glass covers? Does the job you ask of them while still looking aesthetically good!

The tank is 6ft long by 9inch by 9inch, sort of "long kang" looking. Meant for grow up for the small endi before i transfer them to main tank. But i think its not suitable anymore Will try to think of something else.

Can, photoshop or use knife cut in half both works for me. jk, jk. I think if u feed it enough it could look short body. But I doubt it will become short body. Anyone got experience to throw pie in my face?

Short body is an genetic defect/ man-made (cruel).
No matter how you feed a normal birchir, it won't become shortbody. Only an increase of body mass. Increase in body mass will make it looks slightly shorter due to body mass/proportion.

Upper jaws should be alright. So long as they are about the same size. You don't want the tig/tsn to eat your bichirs too.
I have tried juru with lower jaws before, ended up as an expensive feeder.
