My polleni

Well some bad news. First I've been working a lot, so I haven't had time to take any pictures. Secondly, I went in last night to turn out the lights and saw my polleni tried to eat the lone Cory that was in the tank. The cory's fins were sticking through the polleni's chin and next to his nostril. With a pair of manicure scissors I was able to snip of the fins and pull it out of his mouth. Hopefully he will be ok.
Yea the cory was dead. He still ate NLS even with the cory sticking out of his mouth.
How big was he when this happened? Mines still small enough where pretty much everyone in the tank is higher up the chain than him. he keeps to himself unless its time to eat
Gorgeous fish. I can't believe I missed out on getting on of those fish at my local pet store 
There was a 10" inch male that ran a 100g in the shop with a 7" midas a couple of severums and a 5" Texas cichlid.

Thought I'd update this. We recently moved so I had to break down the tanks to go to the new house. I figured the polleni was big enough to go to his hopefully permanent home, my 6ft all male hap and peacock tank. He's about 5" now and I'll be watching for the next few days to see how he gets along with everyone.
Funny timing because I just had to do the exact same thing 4 days ago. I had my 8" polleni in with my bichirs and geos and I just got a datnoid last week. The polleni has always been pretty mellow but for some reasonhe would not leave the 4" datnoid alone so I just moved my polleni into my 6ft hap tank a few days ago untill the other 120g tank is ready for him. You should be fine, mine gets along well with my haps and no issues at all.
The whole reason I bought him was to eventually move him over to this tank. I like the haps and peacocks but wanted to try other oddball fish mixed with them. I also added 4 small and 2 very large spotted silver dollars to the same tank. I just added another fx6 to the tank, which already has an xp3 and fx5, should allow me to stock alittle heavier.
