The Genus that this fish belongs to was "discovered" in 1802.

Protopterus annectens
Title:
Post by: cvanwyk on June 20, 2006, 04:25:54 PM
Protopterus annectens (west african lungfish) - no (good guess though)

lung fish?
Title: CLUES CLUES CLUES
Post by: cvanwyk on June 21, 2006, 12:26:20 AM
Lung fish- No

Clues...

Members of the same Genus have been depicted on Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Fossils of this genus predate the dinosaurs.

This Species is argued by some to be the most beautiful of it's Genus.

It breathes air.

I have a two of these.
