Wtf man..

So, my Senegal bichir seems to be being an ass right now. It just ate a whole night crawler yesterday and it ripped my crayfish in half just now, didn't even try to eat it just killed for sport. Is this something I should keep an eye on?

Polys feed on crustaceans in the wild. Shouldn't be a big surprise that he instinctually killed it.

So it's not turning all territorial like?

Nope. Just a growing boy doing what comes naturally.

This page shows that crabs/crustaceans are the #1 food of sens:

Put more crayfish in! Prob should get cheap ones though.

Maybe you should discipline him. Only way to prevent him from becoming a meany.

I actually like feeding mine gut loaded ghost shrimp, fun to watch them hunt

I breed marbled crays. Gut load them with carrot and spinach and my polys love 'em
