hey, itz just an albino clown knife. i have one too and i bought it as an albino. itz eyes arent red but itz brownish/gold also.

good luck keeping urs.
 
I don't get why this thread gets this much attention. Yes there are golden clown knives. it is not an issue of lighting they are just a different color morph. Yes there are true albino's they have red eyes and are the same color as goldens. they are not rare just less available.
 
My guess would be because a lot of people haven't seen em. Just like I'm sure most people that belong to this site belong because they think they've got monster fish or fish tanks. I waited till my 800 was up and running before joining. Peoples perception of monster fish is by their own opinion... Which is fine, but to most people a knife of a different strain or color morph is not common, and they want to see pics:) Just my guess....
 
Do any of you guys have any luck feeding your knives by hand with chunk fish?

I used to feed my gold knife by hand but after getting bit a few times I stopped. She gets very excited and tends to snap at the food in huge bites catching my fingers as well as the fish. My other knives don't like to come up to the top to eat and are very picky about their fish. (They prefer live)
 
I saw a Brown Knife in a LFS. I think they are cool I just dont have room for a fish that size.....YET:naughty:
