. Do you know if it is Papyrocranus afer or Papyrocranus congoensis?Im picking him up tmw from my buddys house since QT is done and hes been pre treated etc ill throw some pics up then!
I truly have no idea, looks like afer but i havent seen the other. Ill look up pictures to see the difference and try to determine, i didnt know there was 2 referred to as that. It was just marketed as black featherfin knifefish, asked him if it was african and he said yeah for sure
Just looked it up and its Afer for sure, it doesnt have the crazy marbling congoensis has, its all black right now

Awesome man. Watch out I heard they are aggressive and reach 30 inches!
This guy is lucky, i put him into the divided side of the tank so he can adjust w/o having to deal w/ my red wolf bloody face. Well he immediatly shot right over to in front of bloody face. Bad move. He got grabbed by the face and thrashed a bit, hes all good now i broke it up and there isnt much damage. Just some cuts and missing scales. Ive seen my wolf decapitate fish like that so im pretty happy he survived

That's one lucky fish! Glad he didn't die. Can't wait to see him all grown up
Same here, im very close to having all of the babies for my 6x3 so pumped! Now i got him all i want to add is a few more bichirs (palmas palmas, retropinnis, ansorgii, congicus, bichir bichir), and switch out my red wolf for a hoplias specie since he will be in danger eventually
Hows the growth rate on these guys?

For growth, I have no idea, but I'm going to assume it is close to clown knife species.
I have kept a few successfully with cichlids. The best was by far the star night knife mine was a beast and was more aggy than the cichlids. Currently I have a bgk in with my jag and he don't even bother him, with large enough tank and hiding spaces it can be done
