Being the fish n00b that I am, I put him in the tank with a green terror, gold severum, and a clown knife.

My GT is about 3-4"
My CK is about 6"
My GS is about 5"

Now, as soon as I put my 4-5" LF in, my terror started attacking him. I panicked and popped him into my 10G tank.

What should I do as far is this goes? Leave him in the 10G and let him grow, then place him back in the 55G?

Can I expect this type of behavior from my Terror from now on?

Sorry for being the uber n00b. I should've definitely done some research before I got this LF

Thanks.

:banhim:
 
WTF is a LF?

NVM

i say you should just put him in the 55 and see what happens:naughty:

well i say move things around and then place the fish back in the tank and in a month or so you probably wont be able to find the red terror:naughty: lungfish are beasts and will try to eat your fish when it gets bigger
 
Wow.

I really wish I did some research now.

The idiot at the store told me they grow to be about a foot- 2ft and that they don't eat live food cause they're too slow.

Now I'm stuck with a soon to be beast killing all the fish I like haha.

Luckily I work at an aquarium and I could easily get rid of it, if need be
 
Good luck with him. Where'd you find an albino in NY? You wouldn't happen to work at the NYA? I was a docent there for a while, interned in education- and if you're selling/giving away to employees get me on the waiting list. :-)
 
don't put the lungfish back in with the other fishes, either the terror will continue to bother it, nip off its fins, and possibly stress it to death (with the combination of infection) OR the lungfish will fall into its normal behavior and start eating all the other fishes. this is assuming it's an African lungfish (if you have pics please post for better ID). either way, African lungfishes should not be kept with tankmates as they will randomly and unpredictably attack tankmates (usually maiming or killing them).--
