There's a pair of young polleni at the LFS that are getting no attention since they're smaller (and beige). Been there for about six weeks. I'm prone to rescue them, but I was moving a pair of young cubans into a 95G (60x18) tank, which would be their only refuge. I'm guessing this won't end well, but I thought I'd pitch it to the experts.
 
Imo you'll have a battle on your hands and end up with one pair , either that or plenty of ripped fins along the way both cichlids can be very aggressive
 
I have tried this scenario. Bad idea !! Cubans once they hit around the 6 inch mark will lose it . Especially if its male . A pair will be even worse. Polleni's tend to like peace , they have personalities sort of like Oscars. They can be aggressive as well . But no match for the Cuban !!!
