New lungfish, possible I.D?

I was told it was a african lung fish, can anyone tell me exactly what kind it is?

It is an African. I think it is P. annectens, but it could be P. dolloi

Looks like a dolloi to me, too.

That's a west african lungfish (protopterus annectens annectens). They are very common african lungfish species but don't why people say dolloi. Slender african lungfish (Protopterus dolloi) are unique lungfish and can be easily tell apart from other african lungfish species.

Thanks for I.D. Also can you keep multiple lungfish in the same aquarium or only solo?

If you keep more than one in a tank someone will die. They really should not have any tankmates at all.
