I have a huge Red Dragon ZZ FH living alone in a 52 gallon pentagon tank.... I need to keep a couple of polypterus in there for a few months....do you guys think he will kill them...He is between 14"-15" and the are 10" and 14".
thanks... you guys rock!!
that stoned fish
 
How big are the Polys. I would not do it, they do not do well in a tank with aggressive cichlids. Especially if they are small. They are much slower.
They would have to be awfully large to compete with that monster, especially
in that small of a tank and one that I am assuming he considers his domain.
 
I wouldn't keep a FH of that size alone in that tank let alone w/ tank mates. He will most likely make short work of anything in there. Why not treat your aquatic buddy to a bigger tank and use the 52 as a "spare" for your polys.
 
Put it this way,look at what a Flowerhorn is.A Trimaculatus,Amphilophus Festae,and possible Midas,but anyway,it's a mix of some pretty mean fish,shoot mine bite my arm when i do tank maintenance and it's irritating.There not afraid of things and there real hyper fish.I think your Polys would get hurt,.
