Well, for those of you who don't know this fish is extremely rare and anyone in the US with 600 dollars or so to drop on a big tank and the fish would be smart to jump on this, I really want to buy it and I'm not big on oddballs. Get tanked who was a member here came in looking for one a few months ago, he ownes a fish shop in chicago and ownes one of them, he spent months looking for one and these folks were the only ones to have one on the internet. Also, on a related subject does anyone know what shop gettanked runs, there are lots of fish shops in chicago and I'm going there saturday but I don't know what shop is his and he left the forum a few months ago. Sorry that I'm going to double post

I've seen that exact description used by River Wonders two years ago, they need to update it. White Knifes are not as hard to find as they used to be and now have a scientific name Orthosternarchus tamandua

The place that Paul_MTS got his shipment of Catfish from has tankfulls of them!

Have a look here

I'd done a typo on the scientific name.
Try it now.

I'll bet it could live in a 55 right now, have to go to a 240 eventually though.

Must... resist... impulse.....

Wow, that is one beauty Why can't I win the lottery? On second tyhoughts, why can't I have a rich, insane relative that hands out big wads of cash because they've got nothing better to do with it?

I have to say I'm with astro boy on this one, that first 1 is a beut!

when it comes to albino tropicals I hate them with lust.

looking back through the stock list for NeoTropicals in peru they didn't have them in stock at the time.
