aba aba knife fish

What was the size difference between the aba and the hujeta?

I'm very curious about aba aba, I've heard stories about them being vicious killers, but to me they don't look mean at all.

I've never seen one for sale either, how hard are they to come across?

abas from what ive read can grow up to 5ft or more, hujetas are much smaller.. i'm have not done some research about them cause it's my husband whose interested in hujetas... maybe someone who knows can help me here?.. abas look cute but they really are very aggressive.. mine always want a piece of my hand whenever i clean the tank

haha, indeed hujetas only get around 10 inches or so. But what I mean was, when you put them in the tank - were the round about the same size or the hujetas much smaller?

we just put them in the aba's tank thinking they're too big for his mouth, the aba then is around 10in and the hujetas are 3-4in, we are cleaning the tank where the hujetas should be, formerly occupied by our jags.. by the time we're about to transfer them one is already missing
