Snappy ornate bichir?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So today I come home and my ornate pursued the knife to the top where it grabbed it and rolled. The knife is swimming funny :/ looking to get rid of this ornate if anybody wants him :)

That's not african, that's a bronze featherback.

Also African browns rarely breach 8" in captivity. My duo haven't even grown a full inch or so in 8 months...
Oh shoot. You are right. Sorry it's been awhile since I kept these fish. I had too many knifefish back then mixed them up. But I have kept them before but I don't think I have any photos tho.
 
I've kept other polys before but rn the ornate is the only one in the tank

Been in similar situations....sometimes you just take a loss. If you can sell it asap i would give it away or just donate to an lfs
