I would write... and send pictures etc.. other wise phone call he won't see it..send it registered mail so you make sure he gets it... if he is still there..:)

I was hoping he'd give me an alternative email addy first :grinno: Either his email quota's exceeded the limit, or the server's down over the weekend, or, as you put it, he may no longer work there. But your suggestions will be handy when I may have to send him a snail mail :)

Liz! You were right it's G. coatesi! (Dr.) Will Crampton finally confirmed its ID last night :nilly: :nilly: :nilly:

It grows to 6-7 inches maximum and emits weak electrical pulses like the BGK :) A rare species, it's found in the Amazonian waters of Peru or Brazil. It's such a tiny guy! Yeah!!! :headbang2

Haha! I tracked Crampton down as if I was tracking a rare wild knifefish in the Amazonian waters myself :D :D :D I found out he moved to University of Central Florida and so there ... He's a very nice guy :) :) :)

Willy's probably approaching 6" now. I don't have to worry abt housing him in a 4-ft tank now phew! He'll stick to the 1-foot tank for now :)

Liz, the 2 of us now own some of the coolest knives in the world :headbang2
