Not often. Still can roll the dice as majority will go well.

I have a 4 inch gold severum with a 16 inch ornate, 10 inch ornate, and 2x 10 inch endlis. He doesn't bother the bichirs, but he does like to hang out with the bichirs and ended up being a bottom dwelling fish because of that, hahah.
I'm growing out a 5 inch WC weeksii to put with them but I'm kind of afraid. One day I came home and found a 3.5 inch aulocanara peacock in the weeksii's mouth. I put the peacock in with him to rest him from the bully of the peacock tank. He couldn't swallow the peacock but he had it by the head. I stuck my hand in the tank and the weeksii released the peacock but the peacock still have a bite mark on his dome.
He did manage to eat a 2 inch peacock I put in at the same time.
WC fish are savages.
So far nothing has tried to eat the Severum but that may change when I introduce weeksii.

So this is my first post here (as you can see), I currently have 6 polys all upper jaws with a threadfin acara and a Topajo both are geos. No issues with the polys and geos except the Topajo pushes the polys out of his area and the thread fin too for that matter. Never any damage. The Topajo will allow the golddust in his lair but only the golddust. One time my albino sen grabbed the threadfin by a fin during feeding time but it was a mistake and no real damage done. Id go with the geos over the Sevs. Ive had Severum and they can get "picky" I did have my Sev in with ropefish and a sen. That was 20+ years ago. The Winermilleri get along in a group together and look sweet doing it. Originally I was going for an African river biotope, but had a hard time finding pretty not super huge fish to go with my polys. So the two geos fit that bill. Just my 2cents, was waiting for the right moment to come up for air.
