Do you think it would be okay to put my 9-10 in Senegal in my tank with 6-7 small 3 inch Red Bellys? There is also a 5 in Red Devil in the tank.
Part of me thinks they would leave the bichir alone because it is so much bigger than them, but I want to know your guys opinions.

Basically the Red Bellys are in a 4 foot tank and right now I have the senegal in a 30 inch tank, so that is why I want to move him over.
 
Am I killing him in my 30 inch 30 gallon tank though?
I plan on getting a big tank next month after I move, but in the meantime I feel bad keeping it in the 30.

6 red belly are very aggressive. They get aggressive by the number. It's just a matter of time ur red devil will be eaten. Keep ur senegal where he's at right now. Just move him when u get a bigger tank.
 
All it takes is one piranha to take a bite at your Senegal or red devil to trigger the others and its over.
