Protopterus dolloi - Infos

[gaisller]

Hello everyone.

Saw a website selling Protopterus dolloi yesterday. Tried to find some information about the species online, but can't even find good pictures. Does it really looks like the Protopterus annectens?

Can you give me some details about this fish? Some pics would be great too.

Thanks.

from FuguPuff,

"Propterus dolloi - 5-7" babies, these can reach about 5 feet in the wild, have a rounder head and dark body, like a south american lung fish from Africa. ....."

Saw the pictures from the link above and tbh I think they are very interesting looking fish. Love it.

If you have FB, here's a link to one photographed in the wild. The snout doesn't look as long as the normally caught WALs.

Looks similar to annectens although more circular in shape and longer/thinner, hence it's name of slender lungfish. Will grow larger than annectens also.

Thanks guys.

Amazing fish but definitely not for my tank. Those guys get incredible big. Maybe in the future...
