Wow, that is an amazing knife. You are lucky liz!
Thank you Ewurm.. I do feel lucky ..lucky that he is surviving.. because when you are only quessing about care.. it is chancy.. but all is working out well and i even think he is thriving..:)
 
a couple new pictures..of his face and also notice how extremely long his tail is... all tail:D i will keep trying to get better pictures in the near future. ;)
 
very strange and different personality with this fish.. he has pretented to be dead now 4 times...actually lies on his side when you put the tank light on and does not move a muscle, not a fin nothing..little mouth open... will stay that way for an hour... then if you move it to see {because you are extremely worried} it will dart away and go into his log home.. does any other knife fish anyone knows of have this personality trait???:D
 
Congrats on the ID. I know you've been trying hard to figure out what he was. Good Job!

yeah,the pretending to be dead thing is common in some species like apteronotus species do that alot.

So tired of moving him and poking him until he moves...thats how well he plays me..:) but not going to do any more poking or moving.. because i am sure it stresses him too.. i will just take my stress and walk away from now on:D
