My marble lungfish not eating?

[Star-Flog]

Hi, I need some advice as my 22"+ marble lungfish has not been eating for the past 4 weeks. Any problem? Any advice to induce this fella to eat again?

Below is the recent photo.

Ah your the guy from the arofanatics thread.

seeing how bad your lung looked in the pictures, it will prob. take a while before it will eat again. But looking at the way your lung improved it wil start to eat again...lungs can go for a long time without food. keep the water clean....and try to some food...maybe you can try some nightcrawlers...(low waterlevel, lights off and low current)
good luck with it...

Thanks for the advice. It looks fine and hoping it will eat again.

Just little patient and changing of water twice weekly. It helps to regain its conscious to eat again. Now, this fella eats like a 'pig'.
