Something's up with my P. amphibius

[GreyMatter]

I hope somebody can help me - fast! I've got an African lungfish about 4-5 years old, and I haven't seen him move much in almost 2 days now... He has seemingly no appetite (doesn't even notice the 2 Rosy Red minnows in there with him), his eyes look cloudy and opaque, and he's just been sitting in the same spot. Almost all he does is this painful-looking breathing, where he opens his mouth for a few seconds and closes it.

So far I've done a 40% water change, and I'm going to remove the minnows as soon as I find where I left my net. For fear of making the situation worse, I don't want to go any further until I know exactly what I'm doing. If anyone here knows what to do, please enlighten me!

Wow you got p. amphibious?!! Do you have any pics?

As for the eyes that's looking cloudy I think that african lungfish eyes are like that already as only the Aussie lungfish as far as I know have clear eyes.

What have you been feeding it? Water temperature? Lungfish will sometimes stop eating for a week or more especially when the water temp is low. Try to do 50% water change and higher the temp to 82-84F. Don't feed the rosey reds and try cut up shrimps or smelt or massivore pellets. That lungfish is just probably lazy and waiting for he rosey red to get vacuum up inside it's mouth.
