Hey, I've always wanted a lungfish and was wondering if one would be ok in a 120 for life or would I need to upgrade later on.
I've also heard that they are super aggresive and have a tendancy to consume tankmates. What could I keep with it? And lastly where could I buy one?
Thanks everyone
 
South American lung fish usually aren't pretty mean...I think....LOL I've always wanted one. I thought the african ones were the mean ones
 
My SAL is over 2ft and plays nice (e.g. no deaths) with various SA Cichilds (geos, severums, angels, pikes, plecos, etc.) and a little zigzag eel. I've had him for about 6 years and is currently in a 150g tank.
 
they always had the deadly bite, not recommend tankmates, but recently i mixed my SA lungfish with TSN, fire eel, florida gar and two pleco, works perfectly fine in 4 footer tank (120 gallon).

here a pic people keep together, i want to make a combo like this as well in future.
