    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...

    I decided to get a gilled lungfish instead.

    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.

    Best type of lungfish for pet?

    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?

    I'm getting a south american lungfish!

    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!

    Are prominant red gills normal in African lungfish?

    Hello all! About 2 months ago I noticed that my uni's 11" African lungfish recently began showing his gills and they seemed to grow a bit longer and redder. Could this be bacterial gill disease? I checked the ammonia and its "safe" so I didn't think it was ammonia poisoning. I gave him a weeks...
