Nice Annectens. While the tank does seem fairly small it is possible that it is more than enought for a Protopterus depending on species and activity of the individual. Some lungs will lay motionless for hours on end only to move to catch air at the surface. If anything knock dude for having a book-stand not a small tank. LOL j/k 
To the "grow more" comment; this fish is just about peaked out. There is little to no more growth from this species so there would be no growth irregularities.
Do you know where this Annectens was collected? Again, nice fish bro!

I'm sorry; But that Tank is way to Small for a Fish of that Size!!! I have several LungFish and all of them are in tanks that our 110g. for an 8inch to a 400g. This is not cool and we as Monster Keepers should know that the Health and Well Being of our Pets comes First over our Ego on What is "Cool" to Have!! Sad.....A 110g for a 8" Protopterus. There certainly isnt anything WRONG with that but it definantly is not needed at all. Im glad you put little fish in huge tanks but dont put people down because you choose to go overboard (which like i said there is nothing wrong with but it isnt needed). Personally i would keep the fish in a 125-180g but to each there own. Fish looks healthy to me.

I agree, We here at MFK are a very small group of people. The fish does seem to be in a good health. I just look at the total body size to the tank size, old school; on what a tank should be for a large fish like that.
