HI,

I recently got a marbled african lungfish about 12'', i put it into a 120gallon tank with four 9'' pike cichlid. those pike cichlids keep biting it. i tried a couple of times during a 10 day interval...they never accepted it... should i wait till the lungfish reach 20''? man...how long will that take? few years?


thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!

If this would happen to mine I would take the pike cichlids and cut them up an pieces and feed them to my lungfish...in my opinion lungfish (the african ones) should be kept allone...1 reason a healthy lungfish will kill everything in the same tank. the second one other fish can easally damage the lungfish pretty bad. (nip at their "noodle" fins) your lungfish likes these fins, and likes to keep these. It couses stress to your lungfish. and you don't want that....(I think)
