Approx 3 feet-5 feet but to reach the maximum size of 5 feet could take your grandchildren to see did I mention they can live 75+ years

I saw one at the Amsterdam Zoo a few years ago that was about 5 foot long and very heavy.

Mine I got from Neo in 2006 and he is about 26-28inches now in a 225g.

Hasn't that one been there since 1932 or something crazy? Or is that the one at the Shedd?

Not sure about any Australian lungfish at the Shedd that age.

The one I saw in Amsterdam was the biggest I have ever seen by over 2 feet.

There is one at the Shedd that hit the 80 year mark recently I believe.
