Description

The Green Senegal Lungfish (5-6 Inches) is an intriguing and unique freshwater fish that captivates with its ancient lineage and distinctive characteristics. Native to the slow-moving rivers and swamps of Africa, this lungfish is admired for its unique physical features and fascinating behavior.

Body Shape: The Green Senegal Lungfish has a long, eel-like body that is smooth and scaleless. Its body is elongated and cylindrical, tapering towards the tail. This streamlined shape aids in its movement through its natural habitat.

Coloration: This lungfish exhibits a greenish or olive-brown coloration with darker spots or patterns that help it blend into the murky waters of its environment. The coloration can vary somewhat depending on the individual and the environment.

Fins: It has long, filamentous pectoral and pelvic fins that extend along the sides of its body, which are used for steering and maneuvering. The dorsal fin is low and extends along the length of the body, contributing to its streamlined appearance.

Activity Level: The Green Senegal Lungfish is generally slow-moving and can appear quite sedentary, often resting in the substrate or hiding among rocks and plants. It is more active during the evening or night.

Behavioral Traits: One of the most fascinating features of lungfish is their ability to breathe air, thanks to their lungs. This adaptation allows them to survive in low-oxygen environments and makes them highly adaptable to varying water conditions.

Tank Size: A minimum of 340 litres is recommended for a Green Senegal Lungfish at 5-6 inches. As the fish grows, it may require a larger tank to accommodate its size and provide ample swimming space.

Water Conditions: Maintain slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.5-7.5) with a temperature range of 24-28°C (75-82°F). Good filtration is essential to keep the water clean, and regular water changes are necessary to maintain water quality.

Substrate and Decor: Use a soft substrate such as sand or fine gravel, as the lungfish may dig or forage along the bottom. Provide hiding spots like caves, rocks, and driftwood to mimic its natural habitat and offer security.

Feeding: The Green Senegal Lungfish is carnivorous and prefers live or frozen foods. Offer a diet that includes worms, small fish, and insects. It may also accept high-quality carnivore pellets or sinking food occasionally.
