lungfish

Hey y'all. I saw more and more people saying the sal needed a huge tank, so I decided to go with a gal instead. I know a good place to get them, so I think I'll go with one of them instead.

Hey y'all. You might have seen that I'm getting a south american lungfish. But I wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. So, which one tends to be the most tolerant of hand feeding, petting, putting hands in tank to do maintenance, etc, out of the african species and the south american?

Is it too bad?

Hey y'all. Me and my dad decided I could get a south american lungfish. From what I've seen, they handfeed pretty easily. But if mine doesn't, that's okay too. I'm just so excited! Wish me luck!

Hi y'all. I have been considering a south american lungfish and I wanted to know how they are as pets. Are they "tame" like some fish or more aggressive towards people like the African? Please tell me!

Hello all! About 2 months ago I noticed that my uni's 11" African lungfish recently began showing his gills and they seemed to grow a bit longer and redder. Could this be bacterial gill disease? I checked the ammonia and its "safe" so I didn't think it was ammonia poisoning. I gave him a weeks...

any idea on the subsp. at this size? :D

Good evening, owner of 6 inch SAL here. Got the little guy in a 20 long right now. My question is in regards to moving him and growth rate. I have a 150 in the den with 7 3 inch silver dollars in it. However its a very odd "tall" variety tank. I'm paranoid about messing the little guys growth up...

I've been trying to find out how to ship a lungfish but have not found any conclusive posts showing how. Would the shipping container have to be heated? Do I ship it in water? Or do I ship it in moist paper towels and foam? Would I poke air holes, or would the lungfish be able to breathe pure...

I was just wondering what the going price is for an adult West African Lungfish. They seem to be much cheaper as juveniles but I have not seen much on the price of adults.

Hi everyone! Huuuuuge fish noob and forum noob here please bear with me. I work at a fish conservation lab at my uni and I'm concerned for this lungfish we have. To get straight to the point we have an African lungfish who I haven't seen eat in months (we feed reptile pellets and worms which...

I think it's a P. dolloi... Care to confirm? When I got it, it was the last one at the lfs, 8t was malnourished and kinda looked like a large tadpole (unporpotionately large head, very skinny body). Now it's feeding on hamster pellet and occasionally frozen minnow and market prawn...
