I have violet gobies already, and just love the way these prehistoric guys look! I wish I could have a bigger tank, but my house is pier and beam foundation. Are the polys a heavy bio-load fish? I would give up the female convict if it meant I could have 2 Senegals.
Why polys are addicting??

No polys dont produce much bio load compared to cichlids, idk how much cichlids bio load is but this people might able to answer that question.

lol don't think there's a measurement for bioload, but as you said bichirs are less than a cichlid.No polys dont produce much bio load compared to cichlids, idk how much cichlids bio load is but this people might able to answer that question.
There's no way to properly calculate bioload. But cichlids can be larger length and bulk wise. Lot of cichlids can be constant grazers much different than bichirs. Need to be in groups to decrease aggression. Much different than polys. But would agree cichlids greater than polys.
So do you think I could have 2 Senegals if I popped my convict in another tank?
What?Just wait until
Chances are polys are coming my way st this point and not the mystery fish
It can be done but long term there will be issues because of the oscars. As already mentioned. Plus ur water will really need to be watched. It'll go bad quick.
I do about 2-3 %30 water changes weekly on my cichlid community 210, but that's only enough to keep the nitrates at 40ppm.No polys dont produce much bio load compared to cichlids, idk how much cichlids bio load is but this people might able to answer that question.
Have you tried doing fin levelish w's ? Seems easier to maintain lower nitrate levels for me
A 90% will do more than 3x30%.
I'm leaning back towards polys now
