Thanks man but your not helping i got 25 years in i dont need a lesson in knife species. I am asking about this particular fish because its something ive never seen in 25 years. I also looked through several scientific sites since saturday looking for this fish. Thought i would ask here because of all the venders and importers. Thanks for all the help

 

[kevinfleming21]

I'm just as curious as this is a fish i have not seen/ and heard of before. Just trying to see if something might jog your memory is all, not trying to insult how many years you have in the hobby.
