Pics of my new Aussie Lungfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They don't just "Lay Around Like a Log!" I'm so Offended! :banhim:

LoL, I have African, South American and Albino African (Thanks to AfricanMan and FishRoomPlus) and they are pretty active. Feeding is always fun and over time, Like Oscar's they do get a really cool character. They know when I'm in the room, Feed from my Hand (Only the African) and they follow me when I'm on the phone walking back and forth in front of the their tanks!

:topic: Sorry!

If not a log, a 'turd' maybe?:D j/k

So lungfish are pretty active then? I really don't know, just guessing.
 
Yeah, They can sometimes act like "Turds"!! My Silver Arow. 7" Baby was killed during a week get-away I had. I came home and checked on the tanks and I found my African LungFish was really stuffed and the head of my Arow. floating! :(

The only time I ever thought about becoming a "Monster Fish Eater"!! LoL
 
I wonder what African LungFish Taste like? Chicken....
 
They are a protected species in Australia. It is illegal to fish for them, and they must be released if accidentally caught. You can only keep one with a special permit.

I was offered 2 last year at $400 each, but turned them down as I personally don't find them that interesting. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't do much, and only lay around like a log right?

Wow, you know how much the licenese is for them? I'm pretty curious because I'm looking into picking some rare wierdo fish...maybe not rare but wierdo none the less, so yeah, never occured to me to get a lungfish though. Only saw those in the Sydney Aquarium.

Sorry if this is a NOOB question but, they ARE freshwater right?
 
Okay nevermind! I'm stupid for not reading properly. Noooob....
