My Albino Knife

[JardiniBoy]

Sorry to hear about the loss man....really sorry.

However I took your advice because they look so interesting. I picked me up an albino featherfin 2 weeks ago. He's about 7" long. They really are cool, but this guy kept nipping at my royal clown that was twice his size so I moved it to another tank for a while. I also found an info link on them...not sure about the accuracy of data but interesting regardless. Cool fish, but the temperament rivals that of a clown knife.

Nice one bro and thanks for the link!

I've found my CK to be more chilled than my RCK ... is that what you meant when you were refering to temperament above?

How about some pics?

This is my albino knife that I'm growing out for my big tank. He's a 12G tank in my classroom ... yes I'm a teacher. I usually don't name my fish, but because I have him at school I named him Powder (from the movie) so that the kids will relate better to him.

He shares his tank with 2 albino senegals (The Twins ... Matrix 3) and 2 feeders that didn't get eaten.

Sorry for the poor quality pics ... I only have my old cam at work.

Enjoy!

P.s. Does anyone know what species the knife is?

it looks like an albino african knife
