my 2.5ft lungfish

It seems the tank is big enough. True, the fish does not move around alot, and in the wild, it's an ambush predator, waits for food to come close to it's mouth. It's already been mentioned, he chases the Silver Dollars, but couldn't catch them. The filtration also seems sufficient.
That is one interesting fish.
Delgado, is that lungfish you saw at your LFS still available? Whereabouts is it, if you don't mind.

Some fish can be kept in relatively small tanks, that tank would be to small for an aro that size or even a sncat but would be fine for a eel or a lung.
sorry guys for posting so late.. was away from sg for quite awhile.
anyway just got back from malaysia..went to there xianleng showroom. man their tanks!!!! HUGE! they had the biggest everything i seen before.. saw one dolloi about 20inches for sale. riggit $688 so its about sgd$ 300+? its not common to see a dolloi this size man. what a gem

Dude, nice fish. But you really need a MUCH bigger tank! Gees, the fish is as long as the tank. Sorry, but I don't agree with this kind of practice, imagine how the fish feels. And I am worried of gettin a 20" fish in a 6' tank...
Nice fish anyways. Hope he gets a new home soon...

wow nice 1 there especially under those lightings. Are u going to get a new tank for him?deD3 said:hello people... this is one of my lungfish which i kept from a mere 10inches to the monster is it now...tankmates are 2 5inches silver dollars. tanksize 3 by 1.5 by 1.5
That's a beautiful lungfish. I agree with guppy, you don't necessarily need a gigantic tank for that fish. In the wild, lungfish live in seasonal mud puddles. But if that were an african tigerfish, or some other active open water fish, it would be a real problem.
By the way, this is my first post on this site in about five years (back then, this place was called predatoryfish.net). I got into fishkeeping for about two years (1998-2000) and kept snakeheads, piranhas, wolffish, bichers, lungfish, you name it. Of course, I ended up trading and selling these fish when I took a break from the hobby, but in retrospect, I shouldn't have, for what do I find when I return? Snakeheads have been banned! I can't believe it. Some idiot had to ruin it for everyone.
