TED Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 So how long do lungfish live for. How long does it take for a lungfish to mature. Add these two up and you would get a closer estimate to its proper age. Good to see it being looked after properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceratodus.com says they reach around 2 feet in 2-5 years, and slower there after at 10-15 years to get to 3 foot. Tis an old, old fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
