Wow you got some crazy snakehead collection and now you got yourself an Aussie lungfish too. Nice! It's time for a lifetime commitment for that fish.
I not sure if you know this already but don't just feed it with all meaty food as they will also take veggies. Veggies also helps it to prevent the lateral line spore from getting big.

Yep no problem. I have 2 Aussie lungfish myself and my first one started to develop the lateral line spores from getting bigger and someone told me feed it with some veggie matter and it when back to normal in almost 3 weeks. My second one never develop that syndrome as I knew what to do to prevent it. Both of them is now at 15 inches. Seems to growth rate have slow down now. Bought them last year on the December.
I actually drop some green peas or cut up carrots. One of them loves the carrots so much that the belly looks almost pale orange. However they will still prefer meat over veggies. Just feed the veggies to stop the lateral line spore from getting bigger.

5 feet and probably smaller in aquaria, but you will need a life time commitment as they will live up to 100+ years.
very nice bro!!!! i'd say it would max out at 3' given the right conditions. i really wanted to pick that guy up
regarding its diet, i doubt it would take live prey, and do give it veg suppliments. hikiri algae wafers work very well. good luck bro!
