I am looking to buy a 3" lungfish and cannot find anywhere selling them that small. The smallest one I have found is 5.5" and on ebay. Does anyone know where I can order one of these or can you get them locally and ship them? I'm in Louisiana, US.

Thank you,
Flint
 
What species? And, why is a 2" difference from the one you found such a big deal? Protopterus' and Lepidosirens have such a fast early growth rate that the difference is only a couple of months.
 
I'd really like it to be as young as possible. I'm not picky on species as I have a 300 gallon at the ready for the dear. I just don't want an AUL because I don't want to pay that much for a fish right now.
 
Oh, and definitely not a gilled lung. I can't say what I want definitively because I can't find prices but I do love the African Marbled, Spotted and WALs.
 
At the size you want I would expect it to be more fragile

Is that 300 for just the LF or a comm tank? If it's a comm tank, you want to stay away from any Protopterus species and only look towards adding a Lepidosiren paradoxa to the comm. The african species don't play well with others or conspecifics.
