Zebra knife fish?

[Racersk]

Just want to be sure I got the real deal here, they are supposed to be pretty rare, right? Anyone else keep this species?





Will get some pics of this guy in the tank when I can...

It'll be easier to tell once settled in the tank. Kind of looks like carapo, but could possibly be zebra.

FYI
I've kept zebras in the past, and never had one that looked like the one on your comp screen.

EDIT:

Not my pic, but mine looked more like this one

It is a very nice fish no matter what type of knife fish it turns out to be.

Agreed- still in transit - driving slow. ;-)

I hope it is a Zebra and not a Carapo- big size difference. ;-)

The fish is hiding on some fake foliage and I've seen it several times since it's release. This knife's colors are fantastic!

I got a bunch of in bag pics while I was acclimating it. Pic heavy- all I got.

Looks great. I think it is a zebra.

One day in and It has found a nice quiet spot directly i the center of the tank... Unde driftwood, behind a rock. ;
All is absolutely doing well- the fat belly after feeding the crew some market shrimp is a good sign I think!

Is that going in with the ninja?

Great memory!

No, my one P. Afer (Hatchet) is in his own 90 with a full grown Oscar-the Oscar is the only fish I have that can deal with the P. Afer's agro nature! I sold my larger Marbled knife to a local guy that was stocking his new 300G.

No the Zebra is in the 125g with silver dollars, speckled cats (3-4") and poly's. 2 channel cats too- but I am working on sealing another 125 just for them and 2 Shubunkins(cold water destined for my planned outdoor pond)-the sealing project will be done and dry by the end of the week-end.
