Crazy Lungfish

[redtailfool]

He is about 13 years old. The previous owners tried a few larger fish in with him. Unfortunately the other fish left with less parts than when the went in.

Wow nice age!!! LOL about the less parts part.

that thing is awesome. you should see the water at the top of the tank when he gets in a mood and starts whipping back and forth in the tank!

Has he destroyed any filters yet? Mines literally shoved out lift tube and chewed intake strainers to bits. My late lungfish shattered his heater (hence the late part he didnt do too well after that). My large one now has a shatterproof heater and he's filtered by water changes. So there's nothing to throw out eat, or destroy. He does shove his drift wood around looking for food regularly. Very nice age on him mines around 8 from what i gathered from the previous owner and the LFS i got him from.

PS mine hate neighbors as well so only small fast moving (bait) fish are put in with him

This is Willie the self-liberating, gravel-eating, goldfish-slaying african lungfish. I hope I am doing this picture thing right.

Wonder how big can this fish grows up to?

From what the previous owners told me he has destroyed 4 heaters. I don't think he smashed them though. I have been looking for something to put in the tank with him. He got agitated and hurt himself on a piece of rock I think. I have heard that terra cotta pots are good. Possibly some plants also?
