Green Senegal Lung Fish (2-3 Inches) | Single

Rs. 350.00

Description

 The Green Senegal Lungfish (3.5-4.5 Inches) is a fascinating and unique species known for its ancient lineage and distinctive characteristics. This lungfish is a freshwater fish native to Africa and is admired for its unique appearance and interesting behavior.

Body Shape: The Green Senegal Lungfish has an elongated, eel-like body with a smooth, scaleless texture. Its body is robust and cylindrical, tapering towards the tail.

Coloration: As the name suggests, the Green Senegal Lungfish features a greenish or olive-brown coloration, often with darker spots or patterns. This coloration helps it blend into its natural habitat, which includes slow-moving rivers and swamps.

Fins: It has a set of long, filamentous pectoral and pelvic fins that extend along the sides of its body, which are used for maneuvering and support. The dorsal fin is typically low and runs along the length of its body.

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

Behavioral Traits: Lungfish are known for their unique respiratory adaptation—they possess both gills and lungs, allowing them to breathe air and survive in low-oxygen environments. This ability makes them quite hardy and adaptable.

Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 340 litres is recommended for a Green Senegal Lungfish. This large tank provides ample space for the fish to swim and explore as it grows.

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

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

Feeding: The Green Senegal Lungfish is carnivorous and feeds primarily on live or frozen foods. Offer a diet that includes worms, small fish, and insects. Occasionally, it may accept high-quality carnivore pellets or sinking food.
