What kind of Knife should I get?

[O-dog]

I just got a 125gal. tank with one juvenile O in it. I want to get a knife for it but I don't know what kind any advice.

Glass Knifefish... Clown knives are too common.. royal knives are common too.. im not saying glass knives arent common but they wont outgrow your system, and they wont kill the other tankmates... And it looks awesome... all mine eats is bloodworms, brine shrimp and tiny pieces of worms i cut up...heres a pic.. not the best pic, but u get the idea...

you could get african browns(thats what i want cause theyre the smallest), black ghost, glass, and lots of other species.

how much do they usually cost and are they hard to find?

african brown and black ghost are pretty easy for me to find, one of my lfs's(petsmart) has little baby 3in. ones of both species.


p.s. welcome to MFK

Which type would best fit my tank? I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. I could barely get the 125 in my apartment.

dont get a clown knife or royal knife if u want to upgrade... with an oscar i dont think u would want a glass knife... cuz they will prolly get eaten... who knows tho... Black ghost would be nice but get a 8 incher not a baby or it will just be a snack..

A Black Ghost Knife would be your best bet for a 125g. But get only one cuz they're pretty territorial with each other.

Get a switch blade or butterfly knife!
