advice on lungfish purchase needed

[shekes]

a 2' long Lepidosiren paradoxa is for sale. I was wondering if I could keep him in a 130g with a foot long black arowana.

Also: is there a different name for it? It does not seem to be too much info under that name.

Is this fish fun?

You should be able to South American lungfish tend to be more accepting of tankmate then their African cousins -Anne

Thank you BB! Anybody else?

There is a filter in the tank that produces a bit of a current. Could it kill the lungfish?

I think you should grow your arowana a little bigger first... but thats just me being kiasu...

 

[rumblesushi]

yep without a doubt, a bit of current will kill any lungfish

 

[reefraymaster]

That lungfish will Grow

That lungfish will Grow

But so will the arowana.

such a huge paradoxa is rare man.. if i didnt get my facts wrong..paradoxa is the smallest species of the lungfish? are you sure its 2feet? from the pic shown i looks slightly abv 1 feet. just my rough estimation i apologise in advance if im wrong

I don't really know anything about lungfish, but this website for example claims they reach 4'.

The pic on this page is not of the fish I am actually buying. The guy got it off the Internet. He says the fish is 2' long.

I will get it with a 8" Motoro ray for USD80. The two know each other and don't fight. He says...

Seems like a good deal.
