Some syno like to rasp on the bichir's slime coat. My feather fin syno did this to my sene and slorida gar.
Not sure what polys you have, but it might end up as dinner for even a full grown senegal. Also I dunno about prices in your area, but thats pretty steep around here, especially for a meal 
Really it depends on the personality of your fish and how many caves and hiding places are available, imo.
Really it depends on the personality of your fish and how many caves and hiding places are available, imo.Most S. nigriventris sold are quite small. If your bichirs are full grown already, they may attempt to eat the poor catfish and both may die in the process. A lot of catfish have serrated spines. What knife do you have? A young BGK could work but the adults will eventually outgrow your tank. Clown knives aren't an option either.

Like every one says it does really depend on the fishes character... But is testimonial is worth any I have two pictus with my bichirs.... They staked out a territory and rarely leave it. The bichirs swim freely through it... I guess they know not to mess with the higher end of the food chain..
