African Lungfish in IL NW suburbs

[Ericthefishman]

Hello Friends,
I'm very interested in obtaining an African lungfish. Pick up would be my preference but I would be willing to hear any offerings. I would love a marble or albino but again I would be interested in hearing about anything that's available. Smaller the better
Thanks
Eric

If you are looking outside of WI, I can ship you a abino that is probably close to 20". I also have a standard African lungfish if interested.

What would it cost for the albino shipped to 60060? Could you tell me what the size/cost would be for the standard? Thanks

Hi Eric, The albino would be $700.00 shipped to you. I will check on the standard when I get back to oregon

Thanks. While I appreciate the offer that's a little rich for my blood. I'm going to try my luck in the wauk. I'll let you guys know of I find one. In the mean time I'd love to hear about any other sightings or offers

Hoffer's in Milwaukee has had an African lungfish there for over a year. It was still there last time I checked, about a month ago. $100, maybe a little more if I remember correctly. Maybe about 10 inches.

On the far north side of Milwaukee so it's a bit further of a drive than Aquatics Unlimited (http://bestfish.com/) but the lungfish at Aquatics don't tend to last long there.
