6-8'' Sydontis Eruptis catfish with 2 3'' S. A Lungfish??

Do you think it would be ok if I add the syno to the big tank?? or would the lungs become lunch??? Do synos eat live??
The lungs are like the sizes listed below:

the rule is if it can fit in its mouth then its fair game so yes more likely it will be!

I dont think so, I have small hoplos wich are around 2-3" with large Eupterus, around 10"

keep in mind a lungfish girth is way smaller than a hoplo and they're more active than a lungfish

hmm... i am wondering If I shall ever try to put the syno in the big tank.
I was thinking cause the synos have werid mouths and maybe they can't eat a fish?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hey Alex,

have you fed your syno with earthworm before? a big fat one and see how fast it glups it down because that's how fast they'll do that with the lungfish- try to see if you can grow out the lungfish first

tough one. 50/50 chance of the lung getting hurt.

Hmm.... nope syno never ate worms.. he doen't like em... He is eating shrimp and pellets currently. I don't know if I want to risk it or not!!!
