Getting my baby South American lungfish gave me an excuse to set up a nice little biotope tank for him to start growing up in. Right now he's in a 20 gallon until the 29 is set up. His current tankmates are 5 glowlight tetras and three panda cories.
I'm setting up the 29 with a cork bark background that I might attach some java moss/ferns to. I didn't quite have enough bark for the whole back, but I'll be picking some up at the reptile show I'm going to Saturday.
I found a nice piece of wood to simulate some roots and provide a nice amount of cover for about half of the tank.
Once the rest of the back is covered with bark and the silicone has cured, I'll be adding pool filter sand, and add the inhabitants with an established filter, so there should be a pretty much instant cycle (but I'll keep an eye on it just in case).
The baby lung is only about 3" right now and will only be in this tank until he starts to outgrow it or starts to show interest in eating tankmates as he grows. He'll have a 75 waiting for him by that point (and a 150 after that if necessary)
