And the answer is: NO. Oscar harassed it immediately and stalked it about the tank.
 
good thing they're quick!
 
Yep, moved him back to his original tank.
 
2 1/2" african leaf fish, 2" albino senegal

NO, week and a half in, albino senegal gone, african leaf fish full.

That sucks, I can't believe that leaf fish swallowed your poly!
 
well either that or it jumped ship, but the only place it could go is either into my filter (already checked) or over my filter, which would be quite a leap, and i don't see or smell any fish.....also i was trying to get my leaf to eat prepared foods, so i was starving it......my bad i suppose.

Sounds like the leaf fish got him. I would like to see pics of that meal in progress. Probably took all night!
 
i doubt it, he slurps down bigger fishies with ease, these guys have HUGE mouths. right now i can see him eyeing a little red eye tetra i threw in there just now.
 
What a monster! Try and get pics of him taking down a big feeder!
 
I think it would depend on the O. My O is such a baby, I think I could keep anything in there as long as it wouldn't fit in his mouth.

Wow I didn't realize a leaf fish could take something that big, that really sucks :(
