New Australian Lungfish

[Cowturtle]

Really want a lungfish
Just tough to give up a whole tank to just one animal

If you're thinking about an Australian they're actually peaceful and do well with most tankmates. I plan on eventually keeping mine with rainbowfish and archer fish.

Neither am I but I do like the looks of the AUL.Hopefully the member Jason will still have a few by the time I am ready to get one.....anyhow,congrats Cowturtle

I believe he said that relationship soured, something about jardini playing favorites if i recall

Thanks everybody this one came from the same seller Lone star aquatics who now has them for $1,700. I preordered right when it looked like it was for sure happening and paid $1,500 for him. I think they'll come down some in the next few years but I don't think they'll drop below $1,000 anytime soon.

put it in your will!

I wouldn't put the two together at the size. The lungfish is an easy, slow target, unless startled. My baby FRT takes a nip out of mine here and there. If only you all knew how cut throat it is out there against other importers, you would understand.

Can’t grow quick enough!

I felt like he wasn’t growing until I looked back at how small he was when I got him. Hopefully the next six months are an even bigger change.

Cool! Very Nice
Think it’s time to pull the trigger on one of these guys. Been thinking about it for awhile
Personally I enjoy fish that are interactive….. that’s why I keep rays , aros , etc….
How are these guys? Have a 125 in my kitchen thinking would be a cool spot

This guy is not interactive at all yet. Honestly right now he’s basically a shy catfish that’s why I’m so excited for him to grow some. Definitely not comparable to rays and aros yet. They’re still super pricey too but to me they’re the coolest living animal. I plan on picking up a South American lungfish this weekend too. A 125 would probably last them 3-4 years I would think.
