I have got myself a Mormyrops anguilloides. A really great looking fish and a bit of a monster too. Currenty about 1'.

Saw an item on a documentry with a group of them hunting down some Malawi Cichlids. I then found one at my LFS, Had to have it. Will be going into an 8' - 3' -3'.

The most bizarre looking fish I have ever owned.

Wow, very cool. I've always loved the mormyrids, but where I am you only see the typical elephant nose and that's about it. Are these ever available in the US? And you mentioned something about hunting down cichlids--are they aggressive like the aba aba or are they just predatory?

Not that I am that fussed, why was this thread moved to 'Other Monster Fish'.

These fish are in the same family as Aro's
