    Hi All,

    New section on the Forum

    Thought I would kick it off with a posting

    Saw these Glass Knife Fish at my lfs.

    Am so keen on them.
    But they need a quiet, well planted tank
    The complete opposite of mine.

    I also think they need to be kept in groups
    One of the few social knives.

    Great idea! Can the scientific names be included, where available, when posting these oddballs.

    Absolutely.

    Don't think the lfs gave a scientific name.
    Label just said "Glass knife fish".
