Zebra knifefish

[wintervixen]

A LFS is selling a 6 incher. And I can't afford a decent home for it :(

So sad to let this one go ...

Looks really nice! How much is it going for?

[wintervixen]

Ben, I couldn't restrain myself so I went to buy him!!! :nilly:

Just measured him: 5" and cost a whopping S$38! (S$1=US$0.6585)

Now, he didn't look like the picture I posted above. I can't tell if he's a carapo, a tiger or ???. I'll take a pic once he calms down.

His face look so cute. It's unimaginable to think this guy's very aggressive!

Well, I'm not sure what this knife is really until I get its ID sorted out. It goes by the common name Zebra fish down here although that name is purely generic.

Here is a Zebra knife, G. Carapo. You can also click previous and next to see if other knife looks more like yours. A beautiful knife you have there.

Thats because wintervixen does not have a zebra knife after all and i do not have a tiger knife, are they calling the ones at your LFS.. Zebra's ??? could you get a picture?? There are so many rare knives and alot of LFS places do not name them properly.. and sometimes they do not realize how valuable and rare they are...
