Beautiful! how is their aggression?
Thanks. These guys seem very peaceful compared to other knifefish I've kept. They will chase eachother out of their hiding spots, but it is always brief and I haven't seen any damage to fins at all. I put in a dozen white clouds from another tank when I got them about 2 months back and there's still 6-8 left.

Beyond amazing! Makes me miss mine! Very nice :)
Thank you very much. These guys are still getting used to daytime feedings, so it's a treat when they come out.

I'm in Canada. I would suggest that you just go to your local fish store and ask them to order some, or contact a vendor in the buy and sell section here. A vendor who does a lot of South American orders should be able to help you. I believe that these are in season right now, as a supplier here in Canada just brought some in.

I'll try to post an update on these guys in the next week.

Thanks, Miguel. They aren't very common, but they usually pop up once a year over here.
