Cool whip! I used to work for a tropical fish wholesaler and they would occasionally bring in the 2" babies. Sooooo cute!

I think that lungfish are very neat.
I have seen them before in fish stores and always wanted to get one. It's a shame they get so big.

Nice lungfish! A cool thing about them is after they hatch they have the same type of gills as a salamander larvae,I think there more like an amphibion then a fish Lol.

on the outside? I would like to see that. what happens to the gills when it grows? I mean, these fish do have lungs, right?
