Bio will there be battles?

[fishy12]

I dont want braveheart scenes in my tank. It would be cool but i dont want it. I want to make a african bio with 2 senegal bichir 2 ctenepoma, and some african butterfly fish. I want to know if i there will be fights and some will be bullied. I will have tons of driftwood and plants and stuff to the sides so there will be a open middle space. And i want advice if there will be fights. So wht do you guys think. If you got some good advice tell me.

You should be fine cuz sens dont get that big, my leopard ctenopoma is super melow, and the butterfly fish will just hang on the surface. I have read of aggression between ctenopomas but I have no experience with more than one. I know my lfs has had multiple ctenopomas in a tank for a couple of months if that helps.

I got my senegal bichirs in with my Africans they have their refuge in a log the Africans cannot fit in. The Africans fin nip them occasionally but otherwise it works out. lol I had my socolofi spawn and watched my biggest sen go right in their nest and hammer their spawn lol
