Turned on the lights on all of the aquariums today and saw the Glass Knife on the bottom of the tank being eaten by the baby Bullheads. I took him out and looked, and didn't really see any issues. So I guess I have no clue why this one died.:( Its a bit disappointing, but I don't think I'm going to head out to look for another Glass Knife to replace him. Everything is finally going good in all of the other tanks. (First time in awhile)
The Knife fish that I still have, that you may see in my sig, are:
African Knife
BGK
Centipede Knife
Zebra Knife
E. humboldtii Knife
I'll have to get some updated pics of the fish.
 
sorry for your loss..who else was in the tank with him?
 
Just three small Goldfish. I had busted a 10-Gallon aquarium a few days ago, and I was trying to get another 20-Gallon for him, but I guess its too late now. I really don't think he would have been attacked by Goldfish and baby Bullheads.
He was attacked by the Grass Cutter Catfish in the 60-Gallon, but that was about 5 days ago. Still not sure what could have happened....
 
Sorry for your loss:( Was it the only Glass Knife? They tend to do better in groups and I find that fish that are known to shoal will do horrible by themselves and die quickly. Might sound strange, but I think they may die from the stress of loneliness.

The Knife was 4 inches, and the Bullheads were just an inch. (Just moved them into the 50-Gallon Native Tank)

I would of said this surprised me that a 1" bullhead eats a knife. But the other day I finally moved all my fish in my 55g. There were 2 3-4" comet goldfish in there and my bullhead managed to kill them both. He would try to eat them but only ended up biting their heads off. Kind off cool. Just hope he does not do it to my 4" knife I have in with him.
 
Sorry for your loss
