Hi. I have bought Lungfish with nipped fins and "legs" and they do re-grow with time. I would be suspicious of the barbs since they like to nip fins of other fish.

I'm voting "Barbs"...they are nippy little bastards. I can tell you from experience...ditch the barbs. They are going to continue to nip at the lung and you're really risking infection with constant open wounds.

Make sure you're doing frequent water changes...you should be able to drink your tank water. I added salt and increased the tank temp and my lung is coming around nicely.

Here's my thread if you want to see the damage that can be done:
