Im new in this.. pls dun blast me...hehehe

I've tried for a couple of years to get a Protopterus Amphibius, the smallest species of Lungfish. It's max size is 2ft so i expect it to max out at a smaller size in tanks. So far no luck! Get an AUL, they grow pretty slow!

I have no idea actually, I am no expert myself. But someone in monsterfishkeepers said it's a south american lungfish.

Wow, it looks so cute and a fine looking piece! But quite a messy eater.

Does it attack your gar?
