I just aquired a huge SA lung, maybe a little over three feet long. It can reach the surface of my 30" height 220 without streching out. Had it imported from our Peru supplier. Guy only charged me for a 50-60cm specimen too! I paid 140.00 (Canadian), most of which was the freight, as it took up a whole box. I really have to get my GF to show me how to take/post pictures, I'm kind of a technological caveman. Next I really have to get that Aussie lungfish......
 
Congrats! Sounds like you are collecting the two "community lungfish" species, i.e., Lepidosiren paradoxa (South American lungfish) and Neoceratodus forsteri (Queensland lungfish). I have a 24" Lepidosiren and I love it! It's keep with an assortment of bichirs and catfish and has never chomped anyone to my knowledge. :)
 
Very nice.
 
I actually have a 24" Annectens that lives peacefully with a number of 10-12" polys and catfish.
 
Cool good luck with that!!
