im putting this bad boy in a 150 with some snakeskin guarmies and an albino bichir and a shortnose gar, maybe some danios and rainbows.
if i were u i would snatch that knife up and post it, maybe its worth a ton

I would be careful with that as with my past experience with the Carapo I was never able to keep him with any other tank mates for an extend period of time without having any fin-nipping issues/death. Very aggressive Knife. Great looking Knife though!

have you ever seen one like it? and if so what is it?

It looks to be a Brachyhypopomus sp. maybe Brachyhypopomus pinnicaudatus. Fairly rare to come across, I've never seen one in person myself.
