lungfish and other fish?

[jjollie]

I am setting up a fish tank for the ancient fish can a lungfish go in with the other ancient fish? so far I have a silver arowana two spotted gar and a clown knife

An AUL or Lepidosiren paradoxus would do well in a comm. Seer clear of the risky african LF.

I've had my african lungfish in a tank with a ropefish, black ghost knife, a pleco, and a catfish, since august and he hasn't made any attempts on them. Ate some tetras but that was to be expected haha.

My roomie has a silver arowana and had a gar before he sold it. Lungfish was in the tank for 4 days and didn't get in a fight. He did however seem really stressed even after 4 days in the tank. From how they acted, seems like the arowana and lungfish wouldn't clash...when the lungfish comes up for air arowana just swam away. The gar liked to swim in the middle and bottom and seemed more aggressive than my lungfish, so I'm guessing they might get into it on a long enough time frame. But like I said, my lungfish was only in his tank for 4 days so it's hard to say.

I have a SAL with some SA Cichlids.

From what I have read, the African lungs are more agressive and predate on tank mates.

WAL and Dolloli deffinatly. Marbles, luck of the draw.

watch out man my first one was setup that way two of my cichlids paired up and killed mine the same day needless to say I was pissed I have a African now with a stray ebjd and they seem to do fine

n my experience -
Just combine large fish that can enter it here.
He eats the fish enters the mouth and attack him great also.
