Housing question

[erk419]

Would housing a sengal, palmas, and dehizi all about the same size in a 150 gallon be asking for trouble? Like would they constantly fight or would they get along?

Naw, a pile of polys is usually fine, especially in that big a tank

Ok thanks guys going to a new fish store sat and they have palmas and dehizi might pick one of each up depending on price. Already have a sengal for almost two weeks now. I do have another question about ornate bichirs. I really like there markings but I know they get bigger then these three and from what I've read tend to me more agressive. How would one of these do with the three that I mentioned.

theyll all be fine together. and a 150 is more than enough room for those guys. but there shouldnt be a problem at all.

Should be fine as they have similiar ggrowth and aren't the most voracious of the poly species

No!
Ornates get big, and very fast!

And they often become very nasty fish, and have been known to destroy fish like Senegals...

You have been warned, keep them together at your peril!

Let me make that clearer.
Yes an Ornate will be fine, in a 150, and can be kept with other upper jaws including senegals, I meant "NO!" to you asking if the "similar growth, and non -voracious" includes the Ornate, and the answer is NO.

Be carefull mixing Ornates with the smaller upperjaws, they can have the temperament (and size) of lower jaws.
