i see.. my knife is in 29 gal right now.. if you want to keep one by itself i am sure that a 45gal would be fine for a tiger knife.. you do not have to go through all that expense for him..but of course if you want to wait and save up then you will have a great size tank for tank mates too..
 
Actually theres a sale on 125 gals at a lfs. 6 ft. long, by 18 in. wide, by 20 in. tall. COst 315 dollars rather than 369 for a 120
 
Thats great.. hope it works out for you!

Tiger Knife are awesome fish. My LFS has one right now, he is asking $249 is that too much? He is about 14"

You would want to make *absolutely certain* that you have a positive species ID before spending that kind of money. If it is a G. carapo, it's worth about $50. Don't take the LFS employee's word for it, either. It would be best to take pictures and post them here if you're unsure.


I was concerned about the article that was lifted off PFK's site. Generally cut-n-paste is copyright infringement. I went there to find a reference, though, and I found that I can ask them to e-mail the entire page to anyone whose address I'm willing to share. That's unusual, so I don't know if they would be concerned about the post. There is no other real reference to list (the author's name is already listed at the top of the article) except for the url: http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/pages/show_article.php?article_id=332 It's not clear anywhere on the site if the article actually appeared in a print copy of PFK Magazine, so I think we've done all we can to cite it properly.


LIZ --- Do you have pics of your bluntnose (B. bevirostris)? How exciting that you have one!!!
