the first link looks like an australian lungfish "Neoceratodus forsteri".. they are pretty rare and are protected by the australian government since were close to extinction.. they are currently being bred in australia by only one breeder if i'm not mistaken..
 
well here it show same fish difrent name?
http://www.whozoo.org/fish/primbony/lungfish.htm (Marbled African Lungfish)

so what would a 12 to 14 incher run? mine is identical to this. did i get a fantastic deal and screw the store please tell me i did
 
haha, i know nuts about lungfish, so cant help u out here..

but thanks to you guys who shared the pictures and links. nice cool pics of another monster fish. =)
 
You got a pretty good deal on him if it's any lung. Not fantastic, but still pretty good... but if it was P. amphibious or N. forsteri, then you did get a fantastic deal. I just bought two N. forsteri for $450 each, and they typically cost around $700.
 
ok heres some pics i took few mins ago sorry they so crappy. but they do let ya get clear look at oit

yup thats an annectens alright like mine :) .. its normally called the west african lungfish.. grows up to 3ft and are said to be very aggressive to their tankmates especially when they're big.. mine's with some silver dollars so i'm not really worried about them getting beat up, just watch out for the tankmates in yours :)

the first link you posted is a different lungfish.. its an australian an is very pricey :)
