Would it be bad to add a 3-4 inch CAE with my 3-4 inch Senegal Bichir? Ive read about how CAEs can be aggressive and a friend of mine got one about a year ago for her 10 gallon tank cuz the person at the LPS told her it would be good for algae. Its startng to get larger and aggressive towards some of her fish. Im just wondering if it will be aggresive towards my Bichir in a 30 gallon? If not I may have to find a store to bring it to or set up my 55 gal (the future home for the bichir).

Typically I'd say no, but I have an albino (not golden) CAE with a gold dust bichir and all is well. Worth a try at least.
You'd likely notice the issue before it got too bad. The CAE would chase the bichir around a lot, and you'd see little bite circles on him.
