Please post some pics of your Xenomystus nigri(Brown African Knifefish).
I'll start with mine.

Bad quality, but this fish NEVER stops moving. He's full of catfish.
 
I will post pics of mine when he comes out tomorrow, but I want to know if when you post you can put like your waters pH and what you feed it and such, because I have gotten some mixed info on this particular knife's needs.

Oh and mine eats frozen beefheart, frozen bloodworms, and freeze dried tubifex. pH is about 8 and water is moderately hard (pH of my tap is 8.8; 300 hardness and alkalinity so i put some driftwood in it to try and buffer it)
 
I feed mine cichlid pellets,frozen beefheart and bloodworms and earthworms my ph is at 6.5.
 
pH is 6.8, I feed mine earthworms, cut up shrimp, cut up catfish, and occasionally random native insects (not poisonous, obviously).
 
Cool knifefish
 
I'll try to post pics of my new ones tomorrow, they are hiding at the moment.
 
Finally got a couple pics
1st and 2nd are the same, the 3rd is my smaller one in my 29G.
