thx

[channarox]

very nice.
maybe he'll play nice with his tankamtes?
my annectens never showed aggression to his tankmates.

nice looking fish, congrats! the lungfish is definitely an annectens, and it's good that you're planning a separate tank for him as he will very likely become aggressive toward tankmates. best of luck--

Awesome fish! Nice Frontosa too. Is that grass a real plant?

[pouyan]

Thx guys
The grass is artificially decoration above my underground filter
When I’d bought my lungfish his pectoral and pelvic fins was cut out by another LF in LFS, now they amending very fast my lungfish only shows aggression toward my Polypterus and wanna to tears it in 1 glance! but I separate him cause my frontosa have weird and funny behavior he loves to wrestle with tail of my lungfish lol
I fed him twice time in the morning and afternoon hope it become huge and nice monster:)

It would be cool if you could update us on the proces of it's fins recovery..how long it takes at what temp and if they do grow back to normal....or end up smaler or thinner....Some times they grow back as forks....one of my lungs has a forked tail...(he had it when I got him)
and still has it.

good luck with your new fish...did allready eat his tankmates?

he Has very high recovery rate for his fins and indeed backed his correct fins again and now I keep it without company and eat like a pig and his gills near to fall down
