I'll get this started! (sorry no pics!!)

I got a lungy about 4~5 years ago, approx 6 or 7 inches.. just a lil guy.

Grew him to about 18" in a year. Downsized, donated him to a family i knew with a large fish tank.
I warned them it would be the only fish left within a month or two but they insisted they wanted him.

soon their well stocked community tank was host to only one fat lungfish..
Kind of a shame really they had a good breeding colony of blue crayfish, but the lungfish ate them all.

Anyways recently speaking with them, asked them to measure the lungfish.

Comes in at a whopping 32 inches!

I wanna go get pics someday. ^_^
 
wow mine is about 7 or 8" i got him at 5" 2 months ago. so he is geting big and fast
 
6"
 
well one of my 6 inch aeithiopicus grows to abt 2.5ft now within 2 yrs... while e other also reaches tat size within 2 yrs from 10 inches...
 
I always thought lungs grew slow but I guess not!
