Awesome lungfish! I'm very jealous!

How's it getting along with the other fishes?

Doing fine. Not seems to be aggressive. I waited a few weeks to post it as I had to observe it first.
 
Very nice cyanistic WAL! :D

Hopefully I have a male and a female so any case they would pair up and breed. I'm not hoping but who knows.

If they breed, be prepared to figure out some importation/exportation stuff or get someone to do it for you; I'm definitely interested in snagging a few of their babies should they breed! :D

Crossed fingers.... hopefully it might happen. You never know. If I can figure out the gender of the fish then I might be force to squeeze the female eggs out and the semen of the male and mix them in a bowl. It's what some farmers in Asia does when breeding Marble lungfish.

it's definitly worth a try. and if it works sign me up for a couple of those babies. A little off topic but did you ever get your auranti to spawn or did you end up sellling your pair?
cheers
