No I wasn't aware lower jaws could unhinge their jaws like snakes. That's very interesting and also somewhat concerning lol.

Well, I guess someone had a camera with them during an attack on their dat after all...
Not all but alot. One of my dels decided to grab a syno a couple days ago. My first thought wasn't "oh! I need to get this on film." It was I gotta get the syno away from him. The del wasn't real happy with me hoisting him up outta the water but made him drop the syno. I said you snatched a syno I snatched you, there's always someone bigger waiting......
Probably saved both their lives at least the syno.
Heres one, from a thread here.
A 3"-3.5" endli swallow a 2.5"-3" senegal.
Heres the thread if you guys wanna read it.

It's a shame when the poly completely swallows the fish it's biting rather than spit it back out. I really hope some of the fish in the polys' mouths survived!
That's a real shame - I have been housing a 7' endli with a 2' senegalus for about a week now. They're getting along fine. I assume it's because I'm keeping them well fed. Interestingly enough, when I first introduced the senegalus into the tank, the endli gave it a few sniffs (it had many opportunities to gobble the senegalus up) but declined to chomp down. I'd like to think that polys wouldn't eat their own if given a choice/are well fed.
Of course other hobbyists here may have differing experiences
