Afer Knife tank size?

Title says it all I was thinking a 125g should work since they are flexible

A possible 31” fish in 18” width? Is it as flexible as a lungfish or eel?

It should do okay there due mostly to it's flexibility and afers are usually not constant movers.I had my big boy two footer in a 180 for a while before moving him to a bigger tank.

Rocksor I have only heardof heard hitting 24" ish in captivity and from what I have seen they are way more flexible than a clown knife or BGK

 

[Rocksor]

So not as flexible as an eel, but more flexible than silver arowana?

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

Rocksor sounds about right

here is a vid so you can see their flexibility kinda

I wou;d get the spotted variety though

That spotted one is gorgeous.My big one wasn't as mottled as that one but it was pretty spotty as a youngin.It seems to have lost a lot of it's spotting in it's old age.

are they actually two different species or locals or morphs what going on do you know?
