I have a thing for primitave fish, so after drooling over pictures of golden and red arowana, I hit a lungfish board, I am in love with the australian lungfish and paddlefish at work. Anyways, I came across the axolotl fish, Protopterus amphibius, or African Gilled lungfish. Very neat looking creature. Now I will have to research on it. It is a lung fish with external gills, looks like an axolotl-fish. I suggest you guys image serch the thing, its pretty cool.

here is a fishbase.org page with a summary and a pic.
