I was curious to how often you feed your lungfish .. I have a 8 -9 inch South American Lungfish , I feed it three times a week . I'm wondering if I should be feeding it daily ?
 
I feed my P. dolloi that's about 12" long daily. I feed it as much as it can eat in the span of a few minutes, and I make sure to not leave any food in the aquarium after feeding time in order to prevent the water from fouling. It enjoys eating beef heart, fish fillets, algae wafers, shrimp pellets, Hikari Tropical Sinking Wafers, and Hikari Tropical Food Sticks; I alternate which food that I feed between each feeding.

I feed my 22inches long west African lungfish 6 days a week with fresh prawn meat.I give him 1 to 2 large pieces of prawns daily and I have not encountered any problems with feeding him daily except that you have to immediately remove any visible fish waste in his tank and you should also do your weekly 25 to 30 % water change religiously to maintain optimum tank water conditions.:D
