whats so mean it can turn around in that tank. and one that big is def getting enough food.
2x ;) Would be nicer if it was in a longer tank, it can turn just fine in the video.
 
Lung's don't move much, they are one of the few monsters that one can keep in a smaller tank and get away with it.
 
What's is so mean about it? Lungfish looks healthy and not deform. The only lungfish that I would say that needs a big tank is the aussie lungfish as they are not as flexible as the South American and African cousin. African and South American lungfish can be keep in a small tank as long as they can turn around. I know bigger tank is always better and that's what most of us monster fish keeper wants but some people don't have the space or money to get a bigger tank. If you go to Asia you'll see lots of monster fish even in a small tank and still look healthy not even deformed.
 
Africans do better in bigger tanks.
I housed my P dolloi in a 250x150x70 cm tank. And it is doing much better now.

I donated my Aethiopicus to the Zoo and it is also housed in a bigger tank now.

It is possible to house them in a small tank but from my experience they do much and much better in a bigger tank.
