Agreed. That's why I felt like sens are the only real concern for me. The vast size difference alone was reason enough for me to split them up. At that size It has nothing to do with lower/upper jaw. It's just a big fish with a little fish.

Good point. Also thinking conditioning is plays a role. Big poly raised without live food is probably less likely to snack on a tankmate.

Good point I forgot to mention this. I have never fed my poly's live (except this one time where I had my new endli in quarantine with a gold fish for 15 minutes that I planned to move and rehome that came with a tank, I went away for 15 minutes and came back no sign of the goldfish) I think this has alot to do with why my LJ's are so chill with each other and smaller upper jaws like my sens. I currently have a much smaller ornate who is growing out in the sens breeding tank simply because I don't trust throwing him in with the big boys yet as the size difference is fairy significant and he is not yet even 7-8 inches. I mean I probably could go home and put him in their tank no problem but It's a risk I'm personally not willing to take just yet due to the high cost associated with poly's in my country. But size difference, hunger/starvation and conditioning are definitely the deciding factors that determine if a smaller poly becomes a snack or not.

This send looks to be a handful. I couldn't say all sens are aggressive though

What kinda LJ you have? Mostly laps are pretty chill, they dont bother any one, never heard of a lap eating anothe small poly.

Ahh that make sense, mostly its the endli and ornate are the aggressive ones.

Yes I have seen small amounts of aggression from one of the endli's against the laps. Tail biting etc. Have noticed it between the ornates also. Initially when I had drift wood in the tank and first introduced the laps the larger endli really messed one of them up.....
