I saw these for sale on liveaquarias website and they seem crazy looking and have the price to match. Has anyone heard of this fish before? https://m.liveaquaria.com/divers-den/product/441601/pelican-knife-fish-pair

Yea. Oddball knife. Like barely lit tanks. No current. Needs pristine water. Sensitive to salt and meds. Can be a picky eater. Would make sure it’s eating at the live aquaria facility before buying.
I saw a m/f pair of them on another site for $200 less than what la charges.
Liveaquaria is usually pretty expensive compared to other places. They are still selling zebra plecos for $350. The average price is significantly less than that today.
Sounds like a freshwater moorish idol. They seem like a very interesting species though.
Just bumping bc I saw this pop up on liveaquaria again:
Yes I know liveaquaria is pricey especially for rare fish (more reasonable for more common fish on Divers Den).
What's the deal with these fish? Are they just expensive bc they are rare? Anyone on here kept them?
I'm always curious when I see expensive freshwater fish on Divers Den. The only other fish I see in this price range are rare plecos like the Zebra pleco or other L's that I can t think of off the top of my head (blue eyed panaque is another one that comes to mind).

Rare type of knife. Esp a pair. Never kept them myself. I know others who have. Found in deeper water. So it cost more to obtain. Probably don’t travel well and feed well. Expensive to keep alive so the high cost.
