for life in a 300 gallon tank?

with...
-Jardini
-Ornate Bichir
-Endli Bichir
-Spotted Gar

And if so, which kind? I do not want it to eat all of my fish....or be eaten
 
I've seen videos and pictures of people doing it but I do not know what the longterm outcome was. I would think it would be a very risky thing to do on such pricey fish.Perhaps the gar would seriously injure the lungfish ? I personaly keep tiny splashing tetras with mine although again , I'm not sure if one morning I will find them all eatin like popcorn chicken .
 
Unless you have a really large tank, the bichirs will attack the lung fish.

Dunno about that, I've had mine in with bichirs for more than 10 years. An African lungfish will likely munch your other fish once it gets large enough. A South American or Australian would be fine.
 
just beware i try putting fish together that i see in youtube videos but some people get luckier then others. Sometimes it just dont work out
 
So if I were to put in an Aussi you guys think it would be fine? Im trying to figure out if it is even worth the risk...don't want to lose any fish lol.

the spotted gar has been harmless in my exsperience. if the fish is to big to eat, they ignore it and hope to be ignored.
