African Aba Aba Giant Knife Fish Gymnarchus Niloticus 5cm

“Meet the African Aba Aba Giant Knife Fish, an intriguing and striking addition to any advanced aquarist’s collection. Originating from the African freshwater habitats, this species boasts a slender, elongated body and a unique elongated snout. With a preference for live foods like small fish and insects, feeding this nocturnal creature adds an exciting dimension to your aquarium routine.

Given their size potential of up to three feet in captivity, adequate tank space of at least 300 gallons is recommended. While they prefer solitary living, they can coexist with larger, non-aggressive tank mates like larger catfish or similarly-sized species that won’t fit in their mouth. However, caution should be exercised as they may show territorial behavior.

Managing their water parameters requires attention to detail. Maintaining a neutral pH between 6.5 to 7.5, temperatures around 75-82°F (24-28°C), and ensuring excellent water quality is crucial for their well-being.

Due to their sizable nature and specific care requirements, experience with large, predatory species is highly recommended before considering this majestic and captivating African species for your aquatic haven.”
