Very RARE Knife Fish -- Idenification Needed

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
one found on an amazon expedition on animal planet by mike DeGree.
Its a Blind Tubesnout. They say if the pink patch on the tail exands, its stressed out.
 
wow, sorry for my absence! I wasn't expecting so much interest!! Usually when I tell people about these knives they kinda go, "oh, thats nice."

So an Update:

White dragons both died. I cried.
One blind tubesnout/trumpet nose died, but we still have one left and it's doing quite well!! It hand feeds blood worms from me, so I am quite happy with him.

I do want to take him home but I am unable to house him... my predator tank has an albino clown knife and my tropical community has my dracula knife (he's kinda "special" and actually has buddied up with the smallest inhabitants in the community...he even left my cherry shrimp alone, lol).

To answer the price question, the tamandua (blind trumpet nose/tubesnout) is $129.99.

I'm workin on re-doring his tank at work so that it's more tamandua-friendly. He's currently shacked up with cherry shrimp and a rummy-nose tetra (no idea how the tetra got in there...lol) with some floating plants (it's mainly a propagation tank). He seems to enjoy chillin out in the rubin swords, so it's pretty nice.

I will keep you guys updated!!
