Was it really that good a book? Heres my pet dinofish, currently in a 7 ft display and i use a different liquid to water though to simulate the deep water. Very peaceful, energy conserving fish. enjoy...

I hate to tell you, but your Coelacanth is dead. Better head to the lfs that sold it to you...

I was told it is a lethargic species!

the pictures are mine, the fish is not. It is from London Natural History Museum, i forget how old the specimen is.

Dead specimens are lethargic. I guess you have no complaint.

I've seen pressurized tanks containing smaller deep water species somewhere.... Infact I think it was Seaworld in Orlando.


I would cost a fortune, but i think it would be possible for an aquarium to house one.

although it is endangered, and pretty big, so a big pressured tank would cost a lot.

If you want info on its discovery and some cool juvenile pics check out "A fish caught in time"...small thin book
