Okay... now I'm confused again...
When browsing the Fort Worth Zoo site, I saw a picture of my lungfish, but THEY say that the Marbled African Lungfish is a protopterus aethiopicus....
So it THAT what he is maybe?
Here is the site if you wanted to look at it... both of my lungfish look very similar to the pictures at the bottom of the page.

Thanks alot guys for all your help! All I want are happy lungfish and I aim to do just that!
BTW- I fed them some earthworms last night- man is that gross to watch! lol! They chew them up and the worms -or what's left of them- slip out of their mouth and they have to slurp them back up again! (they do this several times before they finally swallow it) Ick! So entertaining! lol!
Thanks again!
