I love my Senegalus, I think Its and awesome fist, pretty handsome and active.
The downside is that as its gotten bigger, it has become a killing machine!

All his tank mates were too big for his mouth, but now the casualties include 1 african ciclyd and 1 Butterfly fish (which I loved).

He´s about 8 inches, and I think he`s too small yet to go in the big tank with my Oscars.

Any thoughts?

ok if the other fish are smaller then him then he needs to be moved...
 
Try a bigger tank?

I have two 7-8" sens with tiger barbs, a smaller leopard ctenopoma, an 8" jack dempsey, a smaller pictus cat, african brown knife black ghost knife peacock eel...

The only things they touch are things like mollies and juvy barbs that I try adding to the tank to see if they'll survive. This is in a 90gal and was the same way in the 55gal before I upgraded.
 
What size are the remaining fish,if they are a decent size they should be ok,also as said above a bigger tank will help.
What are the dimensions of his tank at the moment,floor area is most important and height the least important.
