Ornate polypterus fine with delhezi?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
should be fine for a long time, and yes ornates do grow quickly if fed correctly.
I've got a 10 1/2 inch del in with my big ornates and they dont bother it.

cheers

there were some people posts in the forum where their ornate swallowed other bichir which is close to its size, you could do little search on this, but I keep mine with sens that are twice smaller than my ornates and no probs so far.
 
Mature ornate can be 2ft, it's not only "a bit" bigger than delhezi.
 
mine lives side by side. no issues, ornate is 11" one of my dels is 6"
 
I'm betting it's up to individual fish temperment. Have you met the fish you'd be putting together already?
