went to a lfs in my area today,i have been before to buy slate and grotto rock but never took much notice of the livestock.

Anyway i had a quick look at the fish and was pretty appauled to be honest,found a CK cowering in the corner of a tank full of Gourami,its about 3" long but almost as thin as a piece of paper,dont
think its been fed for a long time.

I felt i had to rescue it even though i know they can reach a metre in length when adults,its in my
ciclid tank now but not sure if it will survive as it can barely move on its own,just kind of getting carried around in the current.

If any one has any advice it would be appreciated,kept an african kife before but never one of these
boys,will put some pics up when i swich the tank lights back on.

Fingers crossed.
 
Hi try and find some chunky earthworms in your garden and see if the knife will take them, you may need to handfeed it or isolate the knife to a tank where it can feed in its own time, bloodworms or chopped prawn can also be fed, but remember not to overfeed as the knife may suffer if it is not used to eating such quantities

will try some bloodworms later,still not moving too good bit like swim bladder.
