Yes I know a lot about them. I have knowlege in my mind on many fish I will never have a chance to find. They can obtain an length from 6-8". they like 76-80 F water. They are much like the elephant nose and ghost knifes if im not mistaken on that they use an electrical organ to find food. They need a shaded area and will find themselves a cave or crevis and claim it as theres. Luckly he chose one where I have a clear view of him.

He's cool! I just saw one the other day at a new lfs I went to that focused on tropicals. It's fun to have something different especially when you know how to care for it. smile.gif
