Ornate with big cichlids

[Greg31]

I have a 90g and plan on getting a decent sized cichlid shortly. I was wondering if I could safely put an ornate bichir with the cichlid for life without a lot of problems. They will both be about the same size (2-3 inches) when I put them in the tank.

Is 90 big enough for an ornate for life?

 

[rgonzales]

a 90 isnt big enough for an ornate

 

[polish]

Double that and it would be happy for a long while.
