Introducing me and my Lungfish

[WormRecon]

Hello, I'm new here, this is my first post, and I would like to introduce my fish. (Sorry for the lousy photography.)


It's an African Lungfish obviously, 24 inches long and a lot thicker than my forearm.
I named it Pug. Short for Pugnacious because when it was 8" long, it killed everything in my tank LOL.
I have a few questions to ask if that's all right...
1. Does this qualify as a Monster Fish? Or do I have skinny forearms?
2. Anyone know what species it is? I'm guessing WAL (P. annectens) but I'm not sure. It's got a few polka dots and that's it.

Oh and By the way, I tried the new TetraMonster pellets, and it LOOOVES it!

PS Yup I know the tank is a little small. Getting a 6 ft tank soon!

Welcome to the Forum mr Worm. good to have an other lungfish keeper.

I hope people will learn from your experience...and keep their lungfish on their own and forget about tank mates for them.

to get to your questions.

1.-yes and ...maybe...
2. You got it right it's Annectens.

about the Tetra pellets (what's the propper name?) I'll might try those for my fish.
