My new ornate bichir is crazy and goes for my Iridescent Sharks! It ate 2 of them, each were 3 inches and the ornate was only around 15 inches!
 
Would it go for my peacock eel which is around 6 inches long?

Its not surprising that your 15" ornate ate your 3" ID sharks. He'll also make a meal of that little eel the next time he gets hungry.

Moved to Polypterus.
 
Ya he prob will, i have a baby sen thats about 2" who hunts down minnows of .5-.75" and eats them. I can only imagine what a poly species thats considered to be aggressive goes after

From my experience, all the fish you mentioned are potential meals. All my polys will go after fish up to 2/3 their size. My 5" endli actually attacks my 7" aba aba knife sometimes if it gets to close to his head.

Oh jeez. 15 inch ornate will eat everything in there. Mine is just over 7 inch now and has a mouth capable of eating most of the fish you listed. I would say modify your stock to fit around the ornate, 15 inch ornate is a big eater, your tank will be empty soon w/ one happy ornate lol

as commonly stated if it can fit into they're mouth it will soon be gone or destroyed. Even if it looks like it's a little to big for it's mouth the poly is still thinking why not try it.
