Hi everyone. In the next year or two, I've been thinking about building a large tank (350-500gal) and populating it with a variety of fish....hopefully. I've always been facinated by lungfish (and also stingray), and I know that most (if not all) of the fish I will name are compatible with each other, but I'm not sure if they would be compatible with a lungfish (either a south american or australian, I know enough that africans do not play well with others). My ideas as tankmates would be:
Stingray (either one or a pair, probably motoro)
Clown Loach
Yo-yo Loach
Discus
Angels
Gourami
Rainbowfish (boesmani)
Eels (peacock or fire)

Also, would a south american and an australian get along at all, or would there be territorial issues? I figure, if I do make this sort of community tank, I would start out with the smaller fish (Discus and loaches, for example), grow them out, add the ray, grow him out a tad, and then add a young lungfish (less than a foot long) so that he would not try bullying (eating) the other fish. Thanks for any input.
 
Australian are pretty docile.

They will eat smaller fish though.
 
I had my 3' SAL with a ray and a black arowan and I'm sure it can live with
Clown Loaches, Discus, Angels, or Gouramis. It is better if they grow up together. The aro hated the ray but loved the SAL.
 
could someone tell me where i can Purchase a Lung Fisg so I can aquire one for my collection of exotic fish.


Try Fish Room Plus or AquaScapeOnline. Both are really good and offer great fish. Good Luck! :grinyes:
