Do albino featherback knifes get monster size?

I always see large ck but never large albino ones, why is that? do they not get huge as well?:confused:
 
i think your confused, there is a clown knife and there is a featherback knife.. clown knives get 2 foot plus and featherbacks only get about a foot. the most common albino of the 2 is the featherback, but ive also seen a few albino clown knives. them being albino doesnt effect their max size. i hope this helps.
 
There are two Knife Fish that come in Albino form; P. Afer and N. Notopterus. P. Afer can get to 2' and N. Notopterus can get to 1'

never heard of an albino p. afer, but thats another suspect.
your forgetting CKs too.
 
anybody got a pic?

anybody here keep any large albino ones?
 
I wish I had pics of mine. My camera went caput:nilly:
Mine is 7" and it is albino. Yours has pink eyes, right? Research I have done shows that their growth is somewhat stunted so they won't get much larger than 14". Since it is albino, it is kind of hard to say which species but my guess is that mine is an african brown knife. Very similar shape and behavior. I will try and get some pics up this weekend.
