Description:

Compatibility: Species only, or possibly with other very large docile fish.
Maximum Size: 40 inches (over 3 feet!!)
Minimum Tank Size: *Not reccomended for home aquaria* 200G+
Temperature: 75-82F
Diet: They are predatory in nature and may only accept live food. Quality frozen food should be eventually accepted.
Level of care:Very difficult due to size of habitat, special feeding requirements and incompatibility with tankmates.
General Notes:
These fish range in various types of water in their home territories. When they are young they live communally in large numbers among submerged roots and water plants. They prefer the more peaceful parts of rivers, and can be found in large areas of standing water. They are nocturnal in habit and do not come out until twilight. Adults are territorial. An aquarium for this fish should be of an appropriate size with a small grained substrate. It should be fairly densely planted with many floating plants. Driftwood is also recommended along with some sort of inert piping or the fish to hide in. Although a large and predatory fish the Clown-knife is very timid and any tankmates must be of the same nature and large enough not to be eaten.
