clown knife question

[ilikewomen]

how fast do these guys grow and how long do they get?

They can grow pretty fast about 1" per month and they average 20" in aquariums, but can reach 30"

We're having a rather long thread about this in the Clown knife forum lol. They can reach 36", but 24" is much more common in aquariums.

African Brown Knife (Xenomystus Nigri) gets 8" on average. If you want an Asian species, the Black Knife (Notopterus Notopterus) grows to about 12" but are pretty aggressive.

I've got a black knife and yes, he's a mean little guy. The African Brown is awesome, I used to keep mine with my big tetras...
