  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hi,

I have a 6x2x2ft tank, loaded with a 2ft africa-lung fish, niger cat, irwini, talking cat, Redtail cat, Tiger shovel nose, gars and 2 dats. Without any problem at all. My Lungie eat pellets most of the time. Sometime i feed with prawns and feeder fish. So far all peaceful.....cheers

You got a nuke ready to explode. I think the gars and the Dats will last the longest but in the end your going to have a very large LF :D

Thinking about it the Niger cat might have a chance with the armor. So I'm going with third place Dats then the Niger and then the gar will be last only cuz they are at the top most of the time.

Let me know how my trifecta works out?

How long have you had this setup? If its been more than 4 years, you likely have on of the rare sociable Afro Lungs. That said, I wouldn't advise this for anyone else who may want to try their hands at an Afro Lung as your case is an exception as opposed to the rule.
 
My WAL was kept in a community with no problems when he was under 18"...then he started getting bigger, and as he did so things started dying with increasing frequency...now even aquarium appliances aren't safe from his curious chewing.
