What size are you looking for. I may be able to get one. Last one we had was 22".

 

[JEAE21]

Oh thanks..I was kinda looking for a young one that I can raise!
How much was the 2'er?

How much was the 2'er?

$120

What do you think a small one would go for? I'm guessing 5" is small..
I have no idea of the lungfish standards..

Hey bro
5 inches is usually what you see as a "small" but closer to 3-4 inches is more like it. Those run anywhere between $12 and $25.

 

[JEAE21]

Now that's a great price!

Can they go on pellets santoury? If so what do you reccomend?
would the hikari sinking carnivore diets do? If so how much should I feed on how many basis?

Do they ever chase livebait?

 

[santoury]

Yes they can go on pellets. That is their best diet. (Vary it, though.) South Americans do eat live fish from time to time, but only if they are really hungry. It does not have to be sinking food. They have a great way of finding their food.

 

[JEAE21]

What else pellets do you reccomend?
and how much amount should I feed a young one(5") everyday?

So I'm guessing a medium-sized fish will be safely housed with them..

small lungs dont ship to well and the boxes are usually about 100-180 if you get em from a wholesaler not an importer your getting a 6"+ if you import a full box of tiny lungs your paying more for the doa.
