great pics!!!! I had an African lungfish for almost 10 years- got to be 36 inches. Lived in an 85hex of rthe last few years- when I got Spike he was less than 8 inches, and I fed him by hand with dog food pellets. One day he bit my finger, and I yelled, "Oh Sh%t" Let go!!! and he did. I had visions of losing my finger at the knuckle. Still have the scar. I fed him large goldfish, frozen shrimp, dog food, and live crawfish. He would bite a fully grown crawfish in half, chew that half, spit it out, chew it, spit it out, chew it, meanwhile the other half is crawling around the tank...
Spike passed away not quite a year ago- I had honestly hoped to have him for the rest of my life.
Good luck with your beauty!!!!!

I bet it is cool to watch him hunt. how much bigger is it going to get? I know some of them get up to 4 feet.
What an awsome fish!
