hi, I am thinking about a polypterus. He ( or she ) whude have tank mates with 5 pumpkinseeds, 1 oscar, and a clown knife.
 
i personally wouldn't mix natives w/ trops. but that's off topic.
what size is the tank? fish?
if the o and CK don't think it's food and the poly doesn't think they are food it should be fine.
 
didn't completely get that, oddball, but sounds good none-the-less

If you aren't sure if it'd get along with ur fish and u want one, set up a 29gallon tank for a senegal. This is a great poly starting fish, and u'll enjoy it and have a chance to try another predator fish in the tank too, such as a ctenopoma or a leaf fish, maybe even a smaller freshwater eel.
 
i think what he was trying to say was:
you dont THINK about getting a poly.
you just get ANOTHER one.

both are really good ideas.
 
cant speak for pumpkin seeds but the oscar and clown would work fine. (as long as your tanks big enough of course)
 
quite a bit outdated of a thread here, but have you already tried this now or are u still thinking of trying it?
