So I had a sal not too long ago who finally died after jumping the tank.. I would like another lung but I'm thinking about an African or Aussie depending on availability and comparability.. I have 2 tanks I'd like to keep one in. A 6'x30" x18" with stingrays. hystrix females and a hybrid male. Or a 6'x18"x30" with 3 hydrolycus tatuaia a Baft and a wolf fish. Should i risk it in any of these tanks or go with another SAL?
 
african are murderers and auls start at 1500 if you can fin one
Yep,go for the AUL if you can find and afford one.A few years ago a former vendor here had them for around five hundred dollars....look at what they are going for now.
 
I guess I'll end up doing a SAL until I have room for anoher single fish tank OR I have a more disposable income

tank mates at ur own risk... had my lung 6 yrs. hes killed 4-5 fish... not a terrible track record lol... i will say its interesting who he chooses 2 slice in half one day...randomly... but usually plays nice. ive housed him with anything and everything over the years. current stock in his 230 are 2 florida gar,1 trop gar, sailfin pleco, syno hybrid, 3 raphael cats and a flagtail... group has been together for 2 yrs... 1 8-10" geo was chomped in that time.
 
The only thing any of my Africans have killed is other lungfish.
