Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Albino Slender Lungfish – (Protopterus dolloi) – Rare Color Morph of an Ancient Fish

The Albino Slender Lungfish is a stunning, extremely rare morph of the African Slender Lungfish, a primitive species capable of breathing air and surviving out of water for extended periods in a dormant state. Found naturally in the Congo River Basin, this species can reach impressive lengths and is recognized for its elongated, eel-like body, reduced fins, and unique lung-like adaptation that allows it to gulp air from the surface.

The albino variant displays a pale cream-to-pink body with red eyes, giving it an otherworldly appearance that stands out in large, specialized aquariums.
