Lol, the pic i posted, the fish had been dead for at least 60 years. And they preserved it and it is in a natural history museum with all the other dead animals of past and present.

Considering the depth they live at and the size it get to.. I'd say not likely in home aquarium. Not in an ordinary one atleast.

There's no "hope" keeping a live coelacanth in a home aquarium... They are DEEP SEA fishes.

I would like to keep a bowfin (freshwater) fish. The lower fins somehow "reminds" of the coelacanth, but I must admit there are huge clear differences in appearance between these two. For example, the top part (fins). But I like seeing the wavy movement of the top fin of the bowfin. Nice. So I will "settle" for a simple bowfin instead of trying the impossible (for me) -- the coelacanth...

It would be nice to be able to see a live coelacanth swimming. I wonder if there is any documentary showing that.
