Huge Lungfish at Disney

[Burbotman]

I'll bet a few people on this thread will appreciate this. At disney world I snapped this (crappy) pic of an african lungfish in a tank at animal kingdom. The "beast" was massive with a girth that many would have trouble getting their arms around. The length is hard to tell from the pic. The head on the right, the tail extends almost to the left edge of the pic. I would say it would be approaching 4 feet.

Enjoy

Looks more like two kids to me!!! JK

Kinda hard to see but when you look closely.........WOW!!!

[tankyou]

GD thats a huge fish in any right for aquaria!!!! Got any more pics without the glare by chance? I know, glare sucks:D

Great Lungfish. Looks like an Australian Lungfish though.

That is one huge Lung, i bet it likes snacking on those malawis.

[Burbotman]

Unfortunaly that is the best picture that I had, I didn't realize how bad the glare was until I was reviewing the pics back at the resort. I must admit I spent most of my time drooling over the massive bichers in the tank as well.

There was a sign on the wall that did profile the African Lungfish, thus at the least that was how they were labeling the fish. As for it's food I would imagine that each morning there are a few less cichlids swimming around.:) :)

THATS A HUGE FISH

[Stone Like Fish]

Its Aethiopicus (spelling) going by size the largest of the african lungs, or its the biggest Annectens i've ever seen! Scales are too small to be AUL

[Jox]

WHat!?!?!?? When I went there a couple years ago they had a sign indicating they had one but I couldn't see a thing. I might have been in the back though I think for its replacement was the biggest bicher I have ever seen. The only Ornate I have ever seen. It was at least 2 feet and sooo thick. Was the Ornate there? I'll go there soon and hope to see the lung this time.

They had 5 ornates in the tank ranging from 12" up to the huge 2 footer. Enjoy the pic
