hi ther i have a south american lungfish its about 18inch long do you know if it gets any bigger
a little bit
It should stop growing at 5 to 6 feet. :thumbsup:
 
I was just joking. It will only grow to 4 feet.
 
a fish that big needs a bigger tank.its like you being put in a box just abit bigger than you and spending you life in there.sorry but i dont agree with the fish dont move much stuff.all fish like space to move.
 
Very nice lungfish, I just got rid of mine. She was the same size also, I miss her :( but after 2.5 years I was tired of having a tank devoted to 1 fish......
 
when small lungfish looks really cute.

That's true dedication to the hobby and shows great responsibility ... :thumbsdow
Pets are not cars that you buy because they are cool and that you get rid of because they bore you and you'd like another model.

Great! At least I see one at that size...mine is only about 8 inches long and hope to see him grow to that size....

BTW, I am getting one of those Aussie Lungfish....care to share if they would also grow that fast? I am also interested in other varieties of Lungfishes as they are my fave...could you please help me to where I could get them? I am willing to import them.....
 
If I am only near your place....would be very willing to adapt them....kept dreaming to when my lungfish will grow that big....It is staying in a 6 ft X 3 ft x 2ft tank with some tigershovel nose of about 7 inches and some spotted gars....
