okey, do know anything about it ? is it mean / ncie to other fish ? it doens't get over 17 cm så thats pretty good.
I'd say that it would accept Bloodworms and Brineshrimp, just by the appearence, and I would also say that it is a more peaceful species/community fish, and probably wouldn't do very well with fish more aggressive than itself. Will probably lay on its side, as if to be playing dead, during the day, and become more active towards night.(As most Knives are) Which would be a better time to feed this Knife so that it gets a chance to eat.

okay thanks ! the ones i've found are about 8 cm . Do you think 2 of them would work in a 100 L with 2 channa pleurophtalma- 6 cm, and 1 datnioides microlepis- 5 cm ? :)
beacuse, I've heard that many knifefish that look like/are related to the blackghost-kinfefish are aggressive and bites the eyes of other fish often..

I would say no; this is probably one of the less aggressive species of Knifefish, and even an aggressive Tetra could cause problems.
