What's the largest Bichir that ate another bichir in your tank ?

After reading this thread i Dont understand how i have this going on in my tank

My other black ghost knife used to point his head straight up and poke the tip of his tail on the poly's head and bounce on him... I found him dead one day.

Ok,
also in my tanks a poly never ate another one.
But i would never co-house a 3" poly with a for example 8" + poly.
But in one of my tanks i keep a few 3" polys together with 16" - 18" ropefishes wthout no problems.

Instead all of my bichirs love the tail of my ghostfishes.
Its a shame but what to do??
Is not of the food.
My small bichirs getting theit shrimps and larvas every day.

How long you kept this combination??

Never had a Poly that ate another Poly so they are cooperating the system, POLY ONLY TANK!
But one of my 11" senegal females once ate a 6" Tyre track eel...
