Hi, I have been struggling to identify this lungfish which I bought in November last year as a dolloi which is obviously isn’t ? at roughly 6 inches, it has now just gone past the 2 foot mark. Everything I seem to find ends up contradicting the last piece of information I found! I either think it is a Propterus annectens nigeria, or a aethiopicus of some kind.
Hey guys! My wife surprised me with a 14ish" long long fish for my birthday. It's awesome, but I'm scrambling a bit to get him the ideal setup. He's temporarily in a 29 gallon with a mixed sandy bottom, an abs pipe cave, and a minimal filter. I'm putting together the list to outfit a 120 gallon tank and sump setup for him and some cichlids together, but I'm hoping to pick your brains a bit first, especially about plants and tank mates in your experiences. They said he had a parasite which was removed and he appears to have recovered well but there's visible scarring on his face. We named him Jethro [for Jethro Tull because of Aqualung lol]
Back to the main point... Our lfs didn't really have much info about him and had him labeled as an African lungfish. I noticed he still has external gills and wasn't sure if that means he's a gilled lf, if they'll disappear as he grows, or if he's still in juvenile form?
Thanks for your knowledge, and I'll see you in the other threads!

Can anyone identify the type of lung this is. When I got him awhile ago it was just labeled african lung. He is now almost a foot and a half. But I'm curious what he exactly is. I can get a updated picture if need be. Also this is not his tank. This was from my LFS.
WAL, west african lung fish… Protopterus Annectens ??Can anyone identify the type of lung this is. When I got him awhile ago it was just labeled african lung. He is now almost a foot and a half.
