I think it's the Protopterus Dolloi, but I am not sure. I was quoted a 12 incher is about $150.00, but I think they grow real slow...

www.primitivefish.com has alot of info about them :)
From my experience with this species they are extremely slow growers. They are very noctural and are usually hard to ween off live food compared to Annectens and Aethiopicus. Based on the head shape and curled up resting position this fish does look like P. Dolloi. All Annectens and Aethiopicus i have owned like to lay streched out. Dolloi are usually the most boring of lungfish but very cool and snake-like. One of my favorites. Nice Lung! :thumbsup:

Vince, you ever get yourself a aba aba yet?
Yes I did. It's about 8-10 inches. Not that mean yet, but hold it's own against the coal grunthers.

Yeah this lungfish is always in a "curl". It hasn't shown any evil aggression towards it's tankmates (red bay snook-pair). But I see it move alot, pretty cool. And it is digging right now, seems like it wants to hibernate. very interesting. :)
