mine has a few tankmates, but they are feeder goldfish he just never ate..they have grown to be quite large really fast because they steal his shrimp (i put lots in though cause i know they are gonna, so he still gets to eat), but they look pretty nice in there and if he eats them, well, he was supposed to do that in the first place...lol.. so far they are getting along alright, but they pretty much stay away from monster..probably because they watched him eat up all their friends

I’d say lose the tank mates and get your lung …or. Get a new tank.
If I were you I would not risk losing my fish.

none of these are options at this time. although in the future ti would be a good reason to get another new tank
