Hello,
I got a WAL around 2 months ago and I have a couple questions regarding its maintenance. Right now he is a bit longer than a foot and he seems to grow very fast. The fish store was keeping him in a 10 gallons and now I have him in a 55 but I think I will probably need to upgrade him within 6 months. So I have a couple questions:
-I have a 125gallons (72*22*18") currently stocked with goldfish. If I move the goldfish in another tank, should this tank size be sufficient for the lungfish for his whole life?
-the 125 has a glass lid. Is it fine for the lungfish or can he potentially break it?
-so far i have been feeding him frozen krill (from hikari), some Massivore pellets and some soylent green gel food. Any ideas of some other veggies or meats he could eat? If I want to give him some vegetables, some market shrimp or some fish (i read tilapia was good) should I cook them first?
-how much should I feed him? So far I feed him like one Massivore tablet in the morning and 3/4 krill shrimp in tge evening. Is it too much or not enough?
Thanks for your answers
