Wanted to share my new Aussie Lung (Neoceratodus forsteri)

He was eating right after I let him out of the bag and actually eats out of my fingers, I think he is pretty much blind :)

Very awkward swimmer, but he is fairly active cruising around sniffing in the sand for food.

He has some frayed edges to some of his fins but I think they will all heal quickly.

He is only 4 to 5 inches and has no tankmates yet.

Hasn't surfaced for air yet, not sure if that is normal for lungfish, aussies or others, as he is my first Lungfish.
