That's smart!

He's only 5" at the moment.


No, i'm keeping him on his own until he's big enough to go in with my cichlids.

Ok so It does kinda look like a black knifefish. He will grow to about 6''!

Thanks BFK.
My plans for him have changed now, i'm not going to put him in my 180g but instead i'm going to get him his own tank.

Ok, iv'e just been told it's a ghost knifefish (Notopterus Notopterus). African knifefish don't have a dorsal fin apparently.
