Howdy peeps,

New here, just trying to find a new home for my SAL (South American Lungfish.) She (i think it's a she) is a healthy fish just over a foot long, and about 6 years old.

It's kind of heartbreaking for me to put her up for adoption, I've liked the species since I was a little kid and find them amazing. I've had the fish since it was only a couple of inches long, but it's time to be realistic and admit I just can't keep up with the care of a monster fish, and can't afford or find room for a much larger tank in my small house.

It was trained on pellets, but can eat anything. It likes pooping. It's fairly mellow and chill, but active.

I would like to charge a small re-homing fee ($80 or so) since I would love for the fish to live with someone who is willing and able to give it the care it deserves. She currently lives in a lowboy 9 gallon tank (really long at 44", somewhat wide, but really short. Undersized for the future size of the fish) which is also for sale for an additional $140 (which is what I've paid for it.)





Thanks for looking, sorry if I messed anything up in my first post.

Best,
-André

Bumping this up. Re-homing fee is not firm.

Hello! After the last post I've decided to keep her, but now three years later she's much larger and totally unhappy with her living situation.

I can't get her a larger tank because my floor joists are not rated for the combined mass, so rehoming is back on the table. Please contact me if interested, I am willing to drive to other states to drop her off.

Cheers!

Got in touch with Greg outside of the forums. Thank you, all! Just a few corrections - we are not keeping her in a 9 gallon tank, it was a typo in my initial post. Her current tank is 48"x13"x12" or 56 gallons.

Howdy, thank you for your interest! Greg ( chiefmojo ) is coming by the weekend of 10/01 to pick her up, but I will certainly keep you in mind if things change. Thanks again!

Hi H Hanalea , an unplanned adversity means that Greg won't be able to adopt my fish this time. I have texted you in case you are interested.
