Any tank mates for African Lungfish?

At your own risk yes… some specimen are more tolerable than others. IME they start to get bitey around 24”-30”. I kept one with small fish for many years no problems. He cut large fish in half just the same tho. Not very often, but the risk is always there. As long as u know that and keep cheaper fish with it its doable.

I forgot to ask. Are lungfish jumpers?

IMO all fish are jumpers… i keep weights on all my lids. Keep ur water level down a bit to let the lung breath easy. It is possible to drown them.

Probably, I never seen my spotted raphael catfish and stingrays jump though. Hope they won't.

Stingrays can flying saucer right out lol…. Had one come up and over a center brace when trying to net it before. Buddy of mine also lost a really nice 4-5yr old ray that bailed out of a tank.
