I will add it was labelled clown knife and was in a tank of clown knives, but this one while bigger, didn't look like the clowns.

My knowledge of knives is limited but its definitely not a clown knife. It looks like one of the South American knives to me.

Google porotergus natter I think that's what it is.

The name fits. I was hoping it would be a brown knife. But I know really nothing about knife fish.

Not a brown knife but a good knife to start with.

I want the brown knife for size, it stays smaller and for my African biotope. But that is the first glass knife I've ever seen so I guess they aren't too common, atleast in my area.
