Do Ornates get along with other bichirs?

[tcarswell]

I have a 90 gallon with one endli about 10-12 inches an ornate about 10" now a senegal that is right at 9" and a delhezi about 8" or so. I read Ornates don't tolerate their own kind here.... Does that include other bichir species?

My ornate does fine with my Endli's.

Thanks guys. I hate when the misinformation gets passed by people who sell the fish. (I mean you sell them on the internet at least do some research on the internet right)

I have an Ornate, Endli, two Palmas, and a Senegal in one tank. No problems thus far.

Ornates are suppose to be one of the more aggressive Polys...but I have one with some Endlis, Delhezis, and Senegals and they're all getting along.

Sounds like everyone is very similar to my stocking. Essentially my "bichir tank" Is really a 75 but taller (90 gallon) Which I guess gives me an advantage when I lower the water level 4" or so to not let a 70 dollar fish escape and die. I am working on getting a 125 for them until I finish this hell job and move back home to my final destination (with better water) and get them the 500+ I know they are wishing for.

I have an ornate who lives with 10 or so other bichirs. He may be the most aggressive. Only in that he will nip at others who swim by his head. There is never any chasing and never any damage. I think he is just a grumpy bugger. My Koliba (lap) who may be the biggest in the tank does the same thing.

i have 5 ornates with 16 others poly´s.
the ornates only seem to be aggressive with the other ornates but not any other poly species.
