David R Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Again, they come from the Americas, the fish I'm thinking of comes from Africa. More specifically Senegal, Gambia, and parts of Eastern Africa. It has also been successfully introduced into other parts of Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Nope. BTW I want a Latin name too, not just a common name! *edit* I just looked up Protopterus (african lungfish) on Wiki and found out that P. aethiopicus has the largest known Genome of any animal on earth. Interesting. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 NO! :lol: I've been waiting for someone to say bichir, but thats why I didn't pick one. East african, primitive, air breathing, ~3', it could be Pbb, but thats not what I was thinking. That would be to obvious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia-15 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 haha, would it be a snakehead of some sort? dunno how big the african ones get but the asian ones get 3' easily, and they breath air, and is pretty primitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
