Gymnotus stenoleucus?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How is it doing now? Im hoping to buy one sometime this week.
It has been hiding a lot, yesterday when the lights turned off it came out a couple times with no more interest from the hujeta, i hope itll stay that way and it will slowly but surely come out a little more.

I feed him by placing some food in front of his shelter, he comes out to grab it then stays inside till dark mostly, sometimes it takes a quick peek.

Keeping my hujeta's well fed and throwing in some feeder guppys helped a lot as well, turns out they dont hunt as much when theyre full, frozen shrimp/bloodworms doesnt cut it for the biggest one anymore i guess, good thing i got like 50 guppys in my other tank and might get 50 for free this week aswell
 
Small update, the hujeta's seem to have lost all interest in the knife, it comes out randomly during the day / night too now.

Ofcourse its still quite shy as expected, but its getting better by the day.

Just got to keep the hujeta's fed well and have enough hiding spots and it seems to work out eventually
 
I had a large ghost knife living with a red tail payara in a 300 & at night the ghost would bother the payara. Eventually payara got spooked & slammed against the acrylic. He survived but it was a blow & I separated.
Till so far my gymnotus hasnt tried to bother any of the fish i think, its more busy doing its own thing looking for food and hanging out in his cave. But who knows whats to come, im prepared to give him his own tank if needed so well see what happens
