I have a 75gl tank right now and I am getting a 125gl ready. I would like to add a ornate birchir with my Senegal would this be a problem. I also have two Gold gouramis and a peacock eel.
 
It really depends on the size and the temperament of the ornate. The ornate will eventually outgrow the senegal and also the pcock eel and it can easily eat those two if it wanted to once it grows big enough. Some ornates ignore smaller tankmates but not all of them do.
 
i agree. w/ is300. if you don't mind the risk of losing the others, you can try it, but make sure once the ornate is large enough to eat them that the ornate gets plenty of food so it isn't always hungry and out looking for other fish to eat :) the ornate will eventually outgrow a 125, though. why not try to find smaller species of polys? dels aren't TOO hard to find.
