LungFish, in my Trade Depot?
« on: December 16, 2010, 10:27:53 pm »

It's more ANNOYING than you think.
Seriously, is there a way I can capture it with a glass cage as some sort of fishbowl?

Need more cats!

EDIT: or i guess using animal traps would work as well, but never really used them much myself

Go to the lungfish's raws (wherever it is) and replace [AMPHIBIOUS] with [AQUATIC]

Aw, but I kinda wanna catch it.
Would it survive in a cage with no water forever? and if not, how can I get water in a cage?

In the fishery workshop you can tell them to catch a live fish.

I've had aquariums before :) but for some reason the fish always die in there  :-\ go lungfish!

edit: place a workship directly next to the trade depot, because they catch the fish closest to the workshop ... or if it was closest to the animal trap stockpile .... place both there and you're good! it's a good idea to prepare the aquarium first too, though a terrarium will do for the lungfish. probably.

Yeah either catch a live fish or set up some animal traps and bait em.

You can use glass terrarium as a fish tank as mentioned.

Be aware that as its vermin this isnt a permenant fix.  lungfish can and will get everywhere and keep coming back
