I wouldn't trust him in your first pic with that ancistrus.

The lungfish haven't bothered them so far, they are cheap as chips as well so I'm not bothered if the lungs knock em off.
 
I know that many people consider these "ugly" but I really like the aus.lungfish, those baby pics are too cool, these are gonna look really sweet when they grow-up!
 
They love their food! slow to get to it at times, but when they do they go hard.

Mine have just started to develope that 'plated' look, the scales aren't as prominant when young. They are 5" and are starting to look a bit like the adults. With longer finnage. The fins are quite stubby on the very young fish.
 
If anybody knows of one that might be sold, please let me know! I'm seriously trying to locate one. Thanks
