Knife Fish

[clareandkarl]

Picture of our knife fish, does anyone else find that these are aggresive even with bigger fish, not really harming other fish but chasing them and biting at them a bit??

Very nice knife fish. What size of tank is it in. Wonderful looking.

we currently have one approx. 12" long in work and it has to be kept by itself as it bullies anything else we attempt to put with it

THAT IS THE BIGGEST KNIFE I HAVE EVERY SEEN

 

[clareandkarl]

Hmmm, obviously they can be a bit of a bully then. Ours is in a 9ft x 3.6ft x 2ft tank and we manage to get away with keeping it with other fish, mainly because they can get away from eachother, nobody gets harrased that way.
Thanks for the info, oh, and yes, he is a big fella!!

He`s about 20", glad you like him!

 

[GobyMaster]

20 inches!!! Dang, and I thought my goby was huge. He's only eight inches. . . . . .
Cheers,
