lung fish interest me especially the albinos. i doubt i will ever get one but i want to know every thing about them. every thing like how big of a tank they need and how big they get and what they eat. what do you call the ones with tentical leg things? sorry i dont know more im just curious.
 
As a general rule they get huge - much larger than the average person can handle - 3 foot plus (One species can reach 6 feet or more.) The only small one is unavailable in the US. They eat any meaty foods, and rarely plant matter. This includes tankmates, usually. The "ones with the legs" are in fact lungfish. All lungfish have them. They are vestigial legs, but are in fact fins (Or the other way around, no one knows for quite sure.) Hope this helps, and feel free to ask away. I keep about 3 dozen of them.
