Healthy and good looking specimen.

Not an easy fish to maintain.

according to this site they r non aggressive:
http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/fish/glassknifefish.php

did read that they can b found in colder waters of ard 18 deg.
extracted fr http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/spec...y.php?ID=12221:
This gymnotiform fish can be found in colder waters of 18°C

so far this pc is still peaceful with my xanto, a small CL n elindra's lima of ard the same size in the floating tank. its a bit too small for me to release it out with the rest of the fishes in my tank.
