Really? what's your big tanks stock from what I remember you having in there they seem like they could go in now. I however may be the exception, but I keep 5" polys with about 10" polys and didn't have any problems. I actually have some 5" sens with my 16" Koliba, 14" koloton, and 12" faranah endli. thats still not including the 3-4 other polys I have over 10" in there with them.
 
Its not the other polys I'm worried about really, the ornate at about 9 inch is the biggest threat from bichirs but bloody face my 8 inch red wolf is. I could see him thinking they're worms and trying to eat em.

I could also see him give em one good bite just like he usually does and that do bad damage

yeah I can see that being a problem lol
 
Thanks man they're getting pretty thick about as thick as a sharpie lol much thicker then my CB endlis at not much shorter then them. They've been eating NLS cichlid pellets as a staple and live blackworms or frozen bloodworms a couple times a week

Another danger of my bigger tank, my pbass lol he's at about 5 inch and has tried to eat bigger fish them. Never a bichir but I'd hate for the first one to be one of my teugs haha

My turn for monthly update

Due to my busy schedule my water change was down to twice a week and my plan for varied diet wasn't achieved. They are still on pellets only diet.

5" and half with tape measure on the glass

Some recent full body shots, mine are for sure at 5 inch. Gonna do WCs every 2 days so they beef up well they gotta go in the main soon

Gonna start all my predators on silversides soon, I don't like the idea of feeding dirty farmed tilapia so they sound like a good replacement and I'm sick of squeezing the dirt out of worms haha

Good shot with size ref, note that the bichir is about 4 inches away from the glass

Close up, the spots are spreading and leaving more color between, can't wait to move these to the big tank!
