not exactly sure of the variaty but one of the LFS's here in wichita Falls has "a" lungfish in thier store. I think they got it from a local that didn't take care iof it cause it was beat to "heck" when they first got it in ... last time I was in there (about 2 weeks) it was looking 100 times better.

not sure on price and shipping depending on where you are.

let me know if you want me to find anything out for ya
