Are they of comparable size?
Ornate is 4-4.5''
Endli when i went to look at the lfs was 3-4''
Trying to decide wheter I should get a endli or some frontosas..

Forget the frontosas and get a bichir. You're in bichir territory right now. Lol!

Ok so it should be ok??
What do you guys think of this package deal shipped to my door for 150 bucks?!
- 2x Poly endlis
-5x Frontosas ( uggh have to accumulate them from a ph of 7.8 to 7.2 somehow)
- 4x Flagtail Prochidulis
- 1x Poly Senegelus
- 1x Poly '' Delehzi
Ordering from a vendor on a different site. All fish are 3-5''.
 
Initially, fine. When adult sizes are approached, you could have problems, there is some definite disparity. I would keep them in different tanks from the start. But that's me.
 
I have that combo right now. No problems at all... maybe because they are in a 300gl tho.

Endli is about 10"+
Ornate is about 9"
Congi is about 11.5"

They chill around the same area in the tank and no aggression. Feed every other day and they are fine.

Every fish is diff tho but I dont think you should have a prob with them.

The only prob I see with your list is the Flagtails. I think you need a large group to keep them alive together, but thats just my opinion based on what I have read about them

Yep they are going to be okay. You've seen many pics of this already in the media lounge but you still asked.

I'm only worried if another person make another tread like this. This type of tread have been made so many times and been answer so many times.
