african lung tankmate?

[wright4lfe]

thinking about putting a 12in african lung in with a 5in in diameter spiny softshell turtle in an 80gl tank. think it will work or should i put the lung in a 100gl alone?

The turtle will either attack the lung, or the lung will attack the turtle.

Keep them seperate for the above reasons.Turtles eat fish or at the very least can remove sizable chunks from them.And African lungfish can be very intolerant of tankmates.

Yep definately best kept seperate.

turtle kills fish most likely.

Dont keep together....lung would win!

not a chance, the turtle would take out a lung of that size with very little effort

Correct lungs bite hard but the turtle has a stronger jaw and a shell.
