View Full Version : My 18" Lungfish
I'm new to the board! Here's my lungfish!
He lives in a 20g filtered by 2x 40g filter.
Heater is a titanium heater with self made "burn-guard".
No gravels, much easier for clean up.
He had HITH when I first got him at 10", now at 18" he's healed most of the lines and holes.
Here are the pics:

Nice lung :)
Looks like he could do with a bit more room though ;)

He looks good but he could use a decent sized tank and some decor. It looks boring in there...

First, Welcome to MFK! The African Lungfish looks good! Is this the only tank you have in your collection? I can't wait till you "Monster Up-Grade" the tank for him/her! Good Luck! :)
Yea, I know. He's abit tight in there :wall:
He'll be going into a rubbermaid tub soon. I dont trust him in a glass tank, he cracked a 10g when he was young.
He's a pick of my fish-"wall", as designated by the wife. :(

He said 75, which is good for a few months......
I agree with del. 300 and stick em all in there. That would be a great tank. :D

It's a 75 ;)
...Then I'll have half a dead E-eel and all other fish fried by the e-eel :eek:
Actually I'm gonna get a tub thingy, those are unbreakable for pretty much any fish.
:P
I needed 1 more post to get attachments

accr - nice fish and I'm sure you care about them, but you seriously need to buy a big tank or 2.
The lungfish for a start, and the aro already looks too big for that 75, and the pbass also looks much too big to be in a 20.

as some others have said, if you ditched all thoose tanks, and bought a single monster tank and waited for some of ur mini monsters to get bigger, that would be an awesome tank. your natived mixed with your exotics would be awesome, i love tanks that showcase native fish and exotic monsters.

wow gotta love lung fish, the LFS i used to work in had one for a while
Nice looking lung, mine gets the hole in the head look when i get behind on the water changes...keep them up like a religion and it clears up reasonably well. Looks like everyone could use a larger tank. I have the same problem at times i get fish with the best of intentions at getting a larger tank and then they spend awhile hopping to bigger tanks while i get my ducks in a row to get a larger home for them.
After this move the size of my display will be determined by the floor we end up on. Ground floor i'm looking for 240 or larger. Anything higher i'll have to spread the weight around and use 75s and my 100 with lighter stocking loads.

Could always use a 300 gal water trough, not much to look at but gives you plenty of growing room cheap.
