Planted Tank with ABK

[DudeItsADiscus]

This is CichlidFanatic and myplanted tank.
He does all the aquascaping. We've also got a Betta fish and tons of snails.

This is our Gold Mystery Snail

A picture of our ABK in his cave. We've named him AK, as in the gun.

very nice! what size tank is it? the abk doesn't attack the snails?

The tank is a 10 gal grow-out. We've got a 55 that will be our planted tank once the oscars are gone.. (FREE: Oscars in MFK MarketPlace) And he's really good with the snails, he'll chase the betta away if he gets to close to the knifes cave. The only time he ever hurt a snail is when one of our Baby snails fell from a plant right into the sight of the knife, he tried chewing it then spit it back out. Other than that he's on a hardy earthworm diet.

NICE!!

PS
thats not an ABK if thats a dorsal fin I see on it
If that is indeed a dorsal fin, then it is probably Notopterus Notopterus
