No, I have a sickness with fish that I fear is beyond curable.

I'm going to agree with what Hao said; it looks like a P. dolloi.

I think that we all have this sickness to some extent (some of us more than others :grinno:).

im afraid to ask, price?

PM me if u want, or ignore it.
 
I actually ended up not taking it due to a silly ID mistake on my part. Someone I trust told me it was an SA and I had no reason to doubt them at the time (not the sellers fault at all - great guy). I can't risk an African lung going berserk when it gets bigger so I backed out of the sale.

Awesome lung and I bet it will sell soon, it was going to be around 400.
 
I would also like to know. I got this as a SA but the fins to me seem way to long.The head looks allot like a SA and the color pattern looks nothing like a African. It's allot of yellow and the all the African albinos are a dull white with pink highlights.I also have never seen a albino SA. I tried feeding it feeder fish before and even in the tank now with the gars and i never seen it once eat any. It's also in a tank with a ray and no problem.I feed it frozen krill and it will eat sinking massivore and allege wafers that I feed plecos. I just don't want Mike to get a fish that he dose not want or mess up his other fish. I'm only going to sell it because i'm going to bite the bullet and buy a Aussie Lung.
