The three senegals I have (3"-6") are in with some julies and juvenile electric yellows. They all seem to be doing fine.

The small Ornate I have in a 100 gallon w/ some pretty rowdy medium-sized american cichlids (see sig) is doing very well ...even tho he's quite adventurous & swims about alot, even in 'daytime'. But I think the only reason I got away w/ it is because the big JD is not accustomed to live food. But the Synspillum did try to take a chunk out of him.....evidently those 'dorsal' spines don't taste very good. There are plenty of hiding spaces, tho.
I have always kept polypterus with comparatably sized cichlids(meaning no one fits into anyone else's mouth)- mostly S/C american. In general the only issue is when they are smaller you need to be sure they get food.
I had my first ornate for 10 years, with cichlids such as green terrors, blood parrots, severums, etc.
