Albino Aethiopicus Lungfish

22-05-2010, 11:54 PM

Hi all, i'm contributing my first share of aquatic facination we all love to indulge in. This is my Albino Aethiopicus (sometimes called marbled) lungfish. It has been with me for over 3 years. A very gratifying rarity to rear and surprisingly gentle in nature too, unlike it's Annectens cousin. Here are some quick facts about it:

Size: 27+inches (max size probably 4-5ft in captivity)
Diet: Currently just Hikari Massivore pellets and algae wafers. Will eat prawns too.
Water PH preferred: 5.5 to 7
Tank space: Currently housed in a 4x1.5ft tank.

Feel free to comment and enjoy viewing the pictures of this not-so-common monster.

Very nice lungfish. A max of 4 to 5 ft in the tank, this will be a monster!
