plus... when they talk about the certain fish they always spit out scientific names... which for one I don't know amazon knife fish sci names bc I don't have any and never have (get too big) and for two the pronounciation of them and the spelling don't always seem to match LOL. stupid taxonomy bull****.
like I said when I go in to work monday or tuesday I will see if I can find a name on them. they haven't taught me what all the labels mean yet but I think their is a chart somewhere int he lab. only pictures i could get ATM would be cell phone pics and I can't get those on my comp. sorry
they have all sorts of different amazon knifefish in there... i haven't seen a lot of them before. they got the basic brown ghost, black ghost, and glass... but then they have ones i haven't seen before
the two biggest tanks are on the system I take care of, but they are currently empty. I have a suspicion they are actually for the new arrivals to stay in for a while but not sure. most of the tanks on my system were either brown knife ghosts or empty. one or two tanks had some "gold lines," one tank had a "marbled" and another tank had 2 that idk what they call them. kind of african knifefish looking but their were a decently bright yellow.
