Only way that most people know is to import from Australia. Also, it would be a minimum order of 5 animals. Price of each would be 500 dollars a piece, plus the shipping cost.

If you know an LFS or fish supplier who can make the order for you, it helps make things easier.

I don't think there over here yet, There was talk of someone importing them a while back but i don't think it happened. Chester zoo has 5 adults but i think thats all of them, when they become available i'd expect £600+

If you guys can do a group order and spit the shipping cost then it would be a lot cheaper. Plus the more you guys buy the cheaper the lungfish's price.

all te lungfish species can be imported in to the u.k.

only for the AUL you need CITES papers and an import licence.

Ive never seen any AUL for sale over here although i have seen the adults at chester zoo. And you can import lungfish over here and annectens arent hard to find and the south american arent much harder. Not that expensive really.

an aul does require the correct paperwork from CITES and in all honesty you are looking arojnd £1000-£1500 especially if the person who gets you it in puts a profit margin for themselves on, which they probably will.

If you really want a lungfish why not look into getting an annectens? they are still great fish ive had mine for about 18months now and love him, they arent too hard to find and wont cost you an arm and a leg, were sellign one at around 14" for £29.95 just as a rough price guide,
