Realistically you don't want to have more than 2-3'' size difference. Polys can't help themselves...lol.... if it can fit in the mouth, it must be tasted and eaten!

i keep 2x 3" sens, 1x 8" sen and a 12" Delhezi in a 100g.
I had a 12" Ornate, didnt attack the small Sens.

I floated a bag of 4 juvi senegals in my polli tank and had to move the bag due to agression.Its a matter of each individuals agression level-Anne

I've never had a problem mixing them with bichirs twice their size. As long as they're kept fat and full!

Oh wait.... I forgot about the congicus that had a taste for albino sens.

I seperated mine because there is always one that is a bully or a mode change but to me it is always the lower jaws that have problems with each other.
