If your going to add them right away the the ornate might eat them. I usually do water change when I add a smaller bichirs with my larger bichirs. I got some 7-8 inches albino sene with some 18"+ endli and lap.

Any fish that is even close to fitting in a bichirs mouth is a big risk regardless of what anyone tells you. All fish have different personalities, and even if its worked for months/years you might find its a different story if the larger bichir misses a couple of feeds...

Good chance that the little ones will be eaten by the big guy!

I suggest you don't. MY 7'' endli ate my 5'' delhezi that probaly will happen to the albino very soon.
