Afer - seems they can be aggro - it’s 5” currently - out swimming with the lights on in the qt tank - it’s new home is much darker than the qt

Can happen, they are definitely less shy than nigri, and less likely to be eaten which is why I asked. Will be quite a cool tank!

Aggro could be a lite terminology in some cases. I've heard of them being slightly bonkers. It's cool it's out and about. They are a cool looking knife, imo second only to a royal clown knife.

I’ll have to look into bonkers... out in the light with window open ?

Thankfully have a spare tank or two if it does some damage...

My phone camera is terrible... need to buy dsl

Looking forward to seeing the growth of an afer!

Wish I had a video, the afer just ate the biggest piece of shrimp... little fish big mouth!

You have no idea how far bichirs will go to swallow a mouthful of food!

New folks for the qt tank!

I must say the live aquaria packaging is best 2nd to Dave’s rare fish... I’ve placed around 10 fish orders and this is the most commercial looking... I won’t name the worst... from Florida....

Acclimating, must say- I’ve gotten more safe & aware - matching ph from delivered fish to tank other than just floating , adding water, then adding fish...

Does the cat look right? There’s probably a 10% chance live aquaria / divers den sent me a random...

Liking what I see! What sort of catfish is that?
