Ok. That last photo legitimately scared me. I don't want a lungfish anymore!
@thebiggerthebetter that's weird. Lungfish are generally extremely forgiving with water chemistry and very resilient to diseases.

We have just received a donated SA lungfish named Louie, at 2' and 2 yo:
Louie has been doing well and grew from under 2ft to about 2.5ft in the 1.5 years with us. He feeds well, as you will see from his round shape but he is slow to get to the feed:
That was Louie vs pellets. Now Louie vs thawed mullet:
The common pleco that had gone into the tank with Louie for some reason dislikes him and tries to drive him away from self:
New apurensis catfish 1ft attacks bullhead and Louie the SA lungfish under the cover of second night, who have to be moved then. The pbass, injured green terror, and large common pleco are fine and staying.
What will happen to Louie if he ends up outliving you?
