There is one in my LFS. Looks really cool and I'm really interested. But it seems like I can't find any info in the web about their growth rate, max size, even a care sheet. Any info on them would be a big help. Thank you!
African Mudfish info
- Thread starter peewee

Do you man African lungfish?
As the name suggests, breath air when their rivers and ponds dry up during the African dry season, then bury themselves in the dry mud.
Back when I was a kid, you could order them packed in a dried mud packet, put it in water, and they would come out of "hibernation".
Many species grow to about 3ft, one species up to 6ft.
They will eat any fish that fits in their mouth, and in the end require a fairly large tank.
I remember a 3ft one in town that was kept alone in a 130gal 6ft tank, was very personable, but would bite your hand if it got too close.
