Lungfish ID - WAL?

[Conner]

My lfs just got this guy in this week. First lung I've seen other than a SAL in 3 years. They say he's an african lung, and I think he looks like a WAL, but I want to make sure. He's about 8" long, and about 1-1.25" thick. Also, is $60 a good price?

yes looks like an WAL. $60 is not cheap but it's fair.

Yep WAL and if you do want to get it buy it. $60 is a fair price at that size and that patterns is looking good as well.

Yah I thought he looked like a WAL, and he did have nice spotting and coloring. Not sure if I'll get him or not, since I've got some other things I need to devote my cash to at the moment .

Awesome, which lfs was it?

It was at Pets Palace, in a bottom tank, without a label. I barely happened to notice it, because I'm used to looking in that tank to see if they have any oddballs, like stingrays or gars or stuff like that.

Well still go for it, I'm sure you can fit him in. Lungfish are the best!

Cool, I need to go over there sometime soon, I've never even seen a lungfish in person before. (other than one SAL that I saw at some aquarium when I was really young).
