I'm curious if a pair of SA lungfish can be kept together since they have a laid back , calm demeanor ? Africans will tear each other up and the Aussies seem to be okay with each other .
Two SA lungfish ?

I've done 2 SAL 2x, I've done 4 SAL once. It all worked, but when there were only 2 SAL, they nipped each other for few days. Then they chill with each other. I haven't kept many SAL but I've kept 4. Good luck! Oh when I put 2 together, they were the same size. With 4 SAL, there was 2 different size: 15" and 10".
Ah, okay. I thought that you had two that were bought from the same store and were housed together there.
I do think that size, age, and maturity may come into play with these lungfishes; it's quite possible that issues arise when mature adults are housed together versus everything being just fine with multiple juveniles.
I have limited experience with lungfish but I do have a store and sell sals It doesn't work for me to keep them together. I'm nursing one still from a bite from the other - in the nose. I think it could work in the right aquarium- large enough! with the right lungfish- temperment wise. but I doubt it and you may be asking for big trouble. I had two together once 8 inchers for a night and when I came in the next morning they were in seperate tanks. The second try was the bite.
