Hey guys, new to the forum and quite frankly just looking for any other South American lungfish keepers out there, I have a 2 year old named Morpheus and he’s about 14” long, it’s been a wild ride trying to get any info or help with questions about his behavior, looking forward to joining you...
saw this guy at my local store… trying to ID the type of lungfish as the store jsur labeled it “African” and they said they didn’t have any documentation of the type in the computers. I tried my best to get a pic… can this be ID by Anhome? gilled African? West African? They said he’s at least 6...
Hey all,
I’m currently looking for a SAL and have a very difficult time finding one available. Has this fish always been this elusive? Any new regulations that make it hard to import or get ahold of?
If anyone knows a seller or store that can ship to NY area would be super helpful!
Cheers,
Ray
Hi guys! First time posting and I’m looking for advice on my tank. I currently have a 150 gallon that houses 3 bichirs that are all the same size (between 6 and 7 as I got them all at the same time. Two of them are saddled bichirs and one is a platinum Senegal. I also have four rope fish all...
Hey all,
been thinking of keeping lungfish in the future and have read that some species in Africa can live 3-5 years out of water. This seems absolutely insane to me and out of curiosity have been wondering if anyone had any experiences or heard of lungfish living in low oxygenated areas or...

Howdy peeps,
New here, just trying to find a new home for my SAL (South American Lungfish.) She (i think it's a she) is a healthy fish just over a foot long, and about 6 years old.
It's kind of heartbreaking for me to put her up for adoption, I've liked the species since I was a little kid...
Hey y'all. I figure I might have to stick my hands in my lungfish's tank to do maintenance, but I heard wals can be bitey. So I wanted to know, is there any way to avoid getting bit?
Hey y'all. Today at the petstore I saw an african lungfish that I fell in love with. So I wanted to know, what should a grown african lungfish's tank dimensions be?
Hey y'all. I almost bought a south american lungfish, but thanks to the people on this site, I decided to go with a gilled instead. I heard before from two websites that sals could live in a 60 gallon tank? Thankfully I know now this isn't true, but why would those websites say that if they...
Hey y'all. I saw more and more people saying the sal needed a huge tank, so I decided to go with a gal instead. I know a good place to get them, so I think I'll go with one of them instead.
Hey y'all. You might have seen that I'm getting a south american lungfish. But I wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. So, which one tends to be the most tolerant of hand feeding, petting, putting hands in tank to do maintenance, etc, out of the african species and the south american?
Hey y'all. Me and my dad decided I could get a south american lungfish. From what I've seen, they handfeed pretty easily. But if mine doesn't, that's okay too. I'm just so excited! Wish me luck!
Hi y'all. I have been considering a south american lungfish and I wanted to know how they are as pets. Are they "tame" like some fish or more aggressive towards people like the African? Please tell me!
alright so I have to move some fish together temporarily and a 13in dolloi and 9in bichir are gonna have to go in the same, otherwise empty 125 for the next few days, it’s only temporary it will be a week at max, but what are the chances that the lung murders the bichir?
Side note neither of...
Hi everyone! Huuuuuge fish noob and forum noob here please bear with me. I work at a fish conservation lab at my uni and I'm concerned for this lungfish we have.
To get straight to the point we have an African lungfish who I haven't seen eat in months (we feed reptile pellets and worms which...
