the first link looks like an australian lungfish "Neoceratodus forsteri".. they are pretty rare and are protected by the australian government since were close to extinction.. they are currently being bred in australia by only one breeder if i'm not mistaken..

You got a pretty good deal on him if it's any lung. Not fantastic, but still pretty good... but if it was P. amphibious or N. forsteri, then you did get a fantastic deal. I just bought two N. forsteri for $450 each, and they typically cost around $700.

yup thats an annectens alright like mine .. its normally called the west african lungfish.. grows up to 3ft and are said to be very aggressive to their tankmates especially when they're big.. mine's with some silver dollars so i'm not really worried about them getting beat up, just watch out for the tankmates in yours

the first link you posted is a different lungfish.. its an australian an is very pricey
