I was thinking about picking this guy up. Was just wondering if it is a Spotted African Lungfish. Still plan on getting it either way though. Just seems that the Spotted is harder to find.

Can't see the picture.

If it's an African Lung, do not keep it with anything else. It WILL disembowel and otherwise maim anything you keep with it. Maybe not day 1 or day 15...but eventually.

Also, keep your fingers clear of it. They bite... A guy at an LFS in Sacramento got bitten by one...and it wasn't pretty (they grind in their throats).

Awesome fish. Highly intelligent. Live for 70+ years. Get 3+ feet long. Not a trivial commitment.
