Help with your choice

Choose the species and permanent system together

Protopterus annectens and Protopterus aethiopicus are separate African lungfish choices. Check the adult dimensions and housing for the selected fish before choosing a supplied size. Provide suitable access to the surface for air and secure the aquarium so it cannot escape.

Plan feeding and maintenance around the fish

Assess companions very carefully and prepare an appropriate feeding routine for the selected lungfish. Powerful jaws matter when planning transfers, feeding and work inside the aquarium. Ask about safe handling and suitable equipment; avoid reaching towards the fish or relying on an improvised move as it grows.
