So i am in a bad situation. My lima shovelnose is about 5-6 inches but he is looking really bad and nipped up by my convict bichirs and arowana... I want to move him to my other tank that has a 3 inch female green terror 3 3-4 inch id sharks and a 2-3 inch datnoid... Will the shovelnose be able to eat them... It is a LIMA not tiger...

He'll defenitely eat them. Limas wiill eat anything 2/3 of their size or smaller.
 
Lima's will often eat anything and everything that they can swallow. The GT may be safe for a while, but the dat would not last long.

While I've never had a lima eat a dat, I've had them eat other feeder fish, and a couple of other fish I should not have placed in the same tank.
 
I think the Lima would be a fairly legitimate threat to those other fish.

Moved to catfish.
