aba aba knife fish
- Thread starter ladez
- Start date
try and train it to eat meaty foods like shrimp, mussels & beefheart even "dilis".. you have to starve it first for it to take those foods.. also, take note that these guys grow to about 3ft so be aware that you would need to upgrade your tank when its gets bigger.. they are also very aggressive and would kill most tankmates and even would bite their owners 
sob ! that's my favorite fish, but I cant find it here in the US!!! Can't go wrong with that one. Feed it till it gets big and healthy, then you can teach it to eat other stuff. But first, make it big and strong. I think that is the coolest of all the fishieshies.

Ladez welcome to mfk!
Try blackworms or redworms. Be careful with tubifex as they are known to transmit disease. You could also try earthworms.
