Hey all,
So I finally pulled the trigger on an African brown knife, after months of seeing them in an lfs I frequent, the one I got was the last one all alone in the tank.
I assumed since they have a reputation of hiding that I wouldn't see him/her for a while until it got acclimated to the tank. I was wrong.
I dropped the guy into my 150 poly tank, where everything is bigger than him, except for maybe the loaches but they are still too big for him to even attempt to eat. He proceeded to slowly swim up to every single fish in that tank and "bump" them with his nose. He wasn't being aggressive as far as I could tell but almost as if he was slowly feeling out each new room mate he had haha.
I at first thought this was some type of stalking behavior but he was doing it to all the polys, the bush fish, every one of the 7 man loach squad and even the featherfin catfish. It was comical and I have to say this fish was the best purchase I've made under $20 in a long time haha.
I'll attempt to get pics up after work of the little guy.
