Carapo gets big too biggest gymnotus second to the electric eel. Biggest one I saw was a 25" monster.

The thought of a 25" Carapo knife is horrifying. Mine is only 7" now and even mauls my plecos.

Yep they are nippy and usually they are smart enough to go for the eyes or belly of other fish.

Yep I bought from him.

Nice pickup, almost bought him when he first went up on his site. Is he going in the 375?

Nope. This one is for sale. My aba aba hates it. This knifefish also kept on nipping my lungfish fins.

That sucks that you can't keep it. It would've looked sick in the 375.
