TeeCee Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Not really my cup of tea - a bit big for my tanks but just thought I'd alert those who may be interested that there's an RKF at Redwood's - around 10 inches long. I understand these are a rarity in NZ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Royal Knifefish? Never even heard of one! I only know the Clown & Black Ghost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeCee Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 This one is very shiny silver with black spots - for all it's size and shape (that leave me cold) it is actually a very impressive looking fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 pretty pretty!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeCee Posted April 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Yes Catfishdude - he is for sale - was still there Sunday when I went in and I must admit I am warming to it - still too big for me mind you. Hey Caryl - thanks for posting the pic - looks very much like the one at redwoods - although I do recall a few more spots and fewer stripes. Picking up a breedign tank tomorrow so I'll have another gander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Thank Alan. He emailed it to me and asked me to post it so I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holiday Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Very impressive!! how much are they asking for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeCee Posted April 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Subsequent look confirms - more spots fewer stripes - apparently because this one is still quite young (makes me wonder how big they do get ). Oh and DocH - they are asking for offers over $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Offers over $300!!!!! A bit over 2 years ago, when I got my Clown Knife from the Hutt Pet Centre, they had a Royal Knife there as well, about the same size, for $75. And they get big, TeeCee, very, very big..... up to 3 feet under idea conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holiday Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 They usally grow to around a metre long in the wild, the asians use them as food. But they generally never get larger than 2 feet in home aquariums. Very nice fish but $300 is way over the top. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
