So, I have located the thread that I was remembering and here it is.If I remember correctly there is a guy on this site that was looking into a species of knife species that he was believing that it was a highly uncommon species which I believe was the species you are curious about. He had contacts with I believe it was a scientist that got him information that was not available to the public. If you can find this person on here then you might be able to learn more about the species that you seek. I do apologize for not being able to provide more information or even being able to guarantee that this information is 100% correct so forgive me.

Whoops, I guess I never read past the first post and as a result of that I didn't see that the person that I was talking about had already posted in this thread. My apologies.So, I have located the thread that I was remembering and here it is.
Hopefully you can get in contact with the op and get more information on the species you wish.The BIG Reveal - Chitala lopis
I’ve been keeping this guy hidden for quite a while, I’m very familiar with its few extant relatives and have been confident in raising this guy. This fish is now considered by many (including IUCN ) to be extinct, but I have acquired a true specimen. I randomly received a message one day...www.monsterfishkeepers.com
I swear you get a new monster every week ???
just sharing, chitala is a challenging fish to catch in the wild, you need live baits to catch lopis, mostly tinfoil barbs, hard lipped barb, most people use hard lures to catch clown knife in lake mines, while borneensis can be caught using feeder fishes, shrimps, crickets and earthworms as baitsI swear you get a new monster every week ???
