Banded Knife Fish Gymnotus Carapo 10cm Overview: The Albino Clown Knife Fish, a stunning albino variant of the Notopterus Chitala, captivates with its sleek, elongated body and vibrant coloration. Known for its graceful movements and distinctive appearance, this fish makes an exquisite addition to any advanced aquarist's collection. Origin: Originating from the freshwater rivers and tributaries of Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and Myanmar, these fish thrive in warm, slow-moving waters.

They may also accept high-quality pellets or frozen foods with time and proper acclimatization.
