Knifefish ID

[_Jessica_]

And...I don't have a picture. Maybe tomorrow.

I got a fish in with my order of chocolate ghost knives. It is not chocolate ghost knife, but it has the shape of one (definitely some sort of knifefish..). It has a very blunt head, like a 'baby whale'. But it's very mottled/spotted. I was looking at the centipede knives, and they aren't quite right-the tail is too long, the spotting is wrong. It literally looks like a ghost knife crossed with a baby whale..I'm not too sure.

Does anyone have any idea? I might just bring it home..eh.

I think I found it...pretty cool.

This is what it looks like, though where I found the pic they weren't 100% sure either.Looks like something from the Adontosternarchus family.
