I have a 32-33 inch albino lungfish in a 600 who doesn't appear to be that aggressive. Just curious if I could get away with adding a school of 6-8 inch ATFS. Would the flow/Current be too much for it? I caught some really small bluegill that he is not even slightly interested in at all. Just lookin for tank mates or I might move it to a 240. Any thoughts?

Albino what? There are lungfish on 3 continents. If it is an African, roommates are at your own risk. I have had them completely ignore tank mates and I have had them kill tankmates.
Yes it is an african...He seems to be completely uninterested in the bluegill and I didn't feed him for a couple days to see if hunger will ignite an attack. I'm gonna try to add some fish with him. Thanks for your input though...I appreciate it.
I've had four lungfish from 3 African species, and they have never bothered tank mates before. I've kept them with tetras, barbs, plecos, cichlids, no problems. My marbled ate some guppies when I first got him because he was used to live, but stopped in a few weeks. The only live I feed is earthworms. Hope this helps. Post some pics if you have some.
