So i have a 90g. Right now i have a hoplis malabaracus, a tiger oscar, a jag cichlid, and an adult common plec (14")(not gibbiceps). I was considering getting a poly palmas(wc). Would this be ok in my 90g? Or should i avoid it

Well my mala only attacks the jag because hes always busting balls. So its mainly the jags aggression thats the prob?

That, and the the jag gets pretty big. I just got rid of my male that was in my 125 because hell get to big, and I'm not sure about the mala but I think you mean the wolf fish? And they have pretty sharp teeth.

the wolf is going to give the palmas a super hard time, not including the jag...
 
I'd go w/ a bigger species like ornate of endlicheri.

Generally, no bottomdweller lives well with a mala. If the bichir is small, the mala will eat it, if the bichir is bigger than the mala, the wolf will bully it.
