When is mean just too mean?

Just send the aggressive one to me, we'll see how he acts in a cichlid ray tank

At least your not talking me to getting more.... though you are talking me into getting rid of.

We could always substitute one for an ansorgii

It isn't mutually exclusive, you could just free up the bioload to seek more peaceful dinoeels

You know that one is on my wish list.. playin some dirty pool now, lol

I'm not too familiar with different polys, but are there any of the "quietly dominant" sort? One that firmly quashes challengers but otherwise doesn't attack anything?

It depends on the specimen, bichirs generally aren't bad at all though.

Hopefully this weekend I can set up my puffers new 65B and then move over the wood to that tank. without the 'perfect' hiding spot to protect it will have to pick a log on the right or left to take over.

So the consensus seems to be to add more polys if the aggression is too much... That said I dont want a poly carpet and already feel like my tank will feel really full with any more bichir, at least when they all grow up. IF I decide to add another I am leaning toward another lower jaw type but dont want another monster to cause problems. Maybe another Lap. or possible find a milder endli... I dont know at this point.

Your right. Your 300 gallon tank is way too small to add another poly.
