thanks, so the smallest would be the West African lung

a WAL will be fine in that tank.
they usually only get to 2 feet in captivity.

What is the minimum tank size for a WAL?

The smallest lungfish species is Protopterus amphibius. This is an extremely difficult species to maintain in captivity. They're also nearly impossible to find. And, if found available, can cost more than a half dozen of any other species of african lungfish.
