clown knife, NOT for most aquariums, only the largest will do.

What did you do with the 300 gallon, knifefish? Must've been awesome with a clown knife...

It would be really cruel to keep such a fish in a small tank.

They are meant to live free!! in the big, open spaces.

by the way, i heard red PACUs grow pretty big too.

Hey CAPSLOCK the clown died when i trusted my friend to take care of him for a week when i went on a buisness trip. My friend un plugged the filter by accident so it wasnt pretty. It happened about a month ago. I put 2 asian gars about 8 inches and a oscar. I thougt about moving my shovel nose catfish from my indoor pond but i didnt know if it was big enough. What do u thinik

i'd love to see a pic of your tank setup; like afull external shot; i can afford a big tank now; but wouldn't know where to keep it.

My biggest tank now fits perfectly into my living room wallunit (1 half is books and dvds, other half is alcohol bar and more dvds; in center my tank), so i'd love to see how you set up your tank knifefishfreak.

i have a knife fish. its like 2 and a half inches. i knew how big they got when i bought it. i bought it when i still had my ten gallon tank. i kind of (accidentally on purpose) forgot to tell my mom how big they got so i could later talk her into helping me buy a bigger tank. i currently have him/her/...it? in a 30 gallon tank with intention of going bigger. i have yet to see it eat but ive had it for like 2 months and its not dead yet so it eats sometime.
