Cool fliks House.
I have to say its a matter of time before the small pollys disapear. My last guy when he was about 10-12" he ate a 6-7" Common pleco. Plecos body frame is bigger than pollys and have rougher skin than them too.
I think what set it off was the fact that I was starving him to get him off live foods, but just to know that he ate a very good size fish tells me those pollys are def ganna be eaten... just a matter of when (plus the growth rate on both species is just crazy... Tortoise and the Hair)

I had 4 armatus about 4-5" along with 50 endlies from about 3-6", before I knew it, I lost about 10 endlies (I counted them after seeing an endli tail sticking out of armatus mouth).
The problem is when the endlies swiimming around the mid to upper column, the armatus takes it as food.
Keep the smaller polys out and leave the larger one in there, if they are the same size, you'll be fine. Get the skinnies ones out.

Thanks guys! Stan... I pulled the littler ones out. The ones that appear to be small enough to be devoured! Anything shorter than 7" was pulled. So far so good.
