I have a 75Gallon Tank and I would like to get a Poly. It is a Community ish. Contains A severum, Geophagus Jurupari, Clown Loaches, a Uaru then acouple smaller fish. The smallest fish is a 2" Clown Loach. I was thinking a Senegal because they only get 10" but IMO they are kind of drab in color.
So i was thinking a Delhizi but they get alittle larger.
How big of a fish could a full grown Senegul Eat? Because I am scared it will out grown my CL's and eat a CL.

Thank you
 
i dont know about them eating a cl but alot of different polys will work in a 75 even an ornate i think
 
You're better off sticking to delhezi, palamas palmas, platinum or albino senegal, polli palmas, and retropenis than any other type of bichirs. Clown loaches are slow grower and is a potential risk to get eaten. I think as long as you keep your bichirs well fed it will not have the urge to eat a CL.

Ornate is a bad choice because those get pretty big. They're known to be quite aggressive toward other fish and bichirs. If you like the ornate pattern then I suggest geting a palmas palamas.
