lungfish personalities?

i know african lungfish are not that popular but i was wondering if anyone else has them, i have two a spotted, and a black and i find my black really shy, and reserved. This is my third spotted and they have been all very outgoing and curious. this is my first black and i am really shocked at how stand-offish he is

Update:

he is not bullied, just shy, to give a off the wall example, he acts like a zebra pleco, invisable.

    That is so cool that you have a lung fish! I saw one at the fish store just yesterday! he was full grown and really didn't move much just hide under the log. He also was a black! I don't know anything about them but I think it is really cool that you keep them! How old our yours? I want to try one in my tank! Do you have any advice? sorry that I didn't answer your question!!!! But good luck

    i once had a lungfish with my arapaima and a reed fish but they seem to go well,your lungfish might still adjusting to the environment or maybe he's been bullied by the others'try to observe its activity again otherwise'

    fish have personalities like people. So maybe that one just doesn't like to be as energetic and the other one does.
