Knifefish

The clown is a delicacy in many places, and the USA. One of the best tasting fish out there :).
 
I'm often asked what I think of whales. I say: I don't know. What do they taste like?
 
I would assume like tuna! When in doubt what anything tastes like, it seems to be chicken, but this is mammal, well maybe it should be chicken!
 
My mom always buy frozen "Featherback" aka asian knifefish from those asian markets. I cant describe the flavor because I think all freshwater fishes have that same texture and flavor, except fot salmon but yeah they are a popular sport/food fish over in southeast asia. If you look around your local asian supermarkets you'll probley find them.
 
thats crazy stuff! must be pretty good, and IMO I think freshly caught freshwater salmon and freshly caught trout have very different flavors if cooked the same way, so I guess I should see if we have an asian market around here and try it out, do a little taste test for you guys!!!!


you likey dee fish? I get you more fish!
 
Well I have been cruising around and on the elmersaquarium.com website it says that under community tank 5 where you can find the BGK can be held in a 10g which seems way too small for an 18" fish. At other forums, I have read where people have kept them in 30g, and a 55g at 16"

What are some good tank mates for a BGK?
Cichlids?
Red Tailed Shark?
Gourmai?
Rainbowfish?
Clown Loach?
 
If you expect him to be big, as I do, and healthy, the larger the better.
Some chiclids like green terrors and jack dempsey are no-no's. As are tiger barbs. I think severums, yellow lab, and milder ones are ok, but i'm not exactly sure. His water temp is a bit lower, preferably at 78 degrees, so this preference has to be kept in mind. I am thinking I will put mine in with silver or possibly marble hatchet, a couple plecos, and maybe yellow lab chiclid. And some cherry barb.

Or skip the yellow lab and put in 3 black angels, or catfish, :rolleyes:

how about a Severum Cichlid? like the green? How big we talking too? at least 4 inches? are the ones listed too small? Note this would be going in a 72g 22" tall
