Moving poly in with bigger poly

[BichirAddict]

I have a question I have new inquired a delhezi and is currently at 3" I would like to know at what size should I but my delhezi with my 8" senegal. Senegal isn't aggressive.

 

[killerfish]

around 5'' and he should be good

 

[Cohazard]

I agree with killer, there's no risk once it hits 5"

 

[channarox]

it may be fine now since sens dont have huge mouths.
ive done it before.
but if you dont want to take the risk dont do it.

 

[CDM]

Yeah, 5" should be safe.

I agree, they are probably okay now. IME moderate temps and keeping everyone well fed leads to bichir world peace

I'd wait till it gets to 5". Bichirs can be territorial towards each other and can do damage to smaller Bichirs.

I recently learned it the hard way with my small Ornate.
