Nice picture a very nice rare specimen !:)

I love Snowy... but those holes got me worried...those are not parasitic hole right?

Amazing pics and what a rare specimen :eek:

Thanks for all the compliments guys!:)

I have no idea.:confused:
Yes he certainly has. I will see what I can do.
Thanks Bro.
Thanks Bro.
They are not parasitic holes, he has had them since I got him, they have just become more pronounced as he has got older. I would love to know what they are?:confused:

really grown alot since the last update!:)

Those holes or pits are sensory organs, here is and article that dug up that explains them. :)

Thanks Moscow!

My favorite fish until the end of time.:) thanks for sharing.

Smashing! It has really grown! Wats its diet? :)

BEAUTIFUL!

The holes I think is a norm for all lungfish?

Looks a tad similiar to those you'll find on an Electic eel

WOW!!!!!!
in SG got money also cannot find..

Thanks Bro.
Thanks, he certainly has! I feed snowy everyday when I get home from work. I feed plec waffers, cichlid pellets, catfish pellets, koi pellets, small frozen silvesides, market shrimp, river shrimp, cut fish peices, beef heart and anything else I can get my hands on.
Yes, I think it is normal too. Thanks!
Snowy is still the only white Aussy lungfish in a private keepers hands. There are 5 other aussy lungfish being held at the breeder, but they are orange and are from different parents.
