180L
1 sailfin plec
1 pangasius (other dead)
1 corydoras
1 coolieloach
2 honey gourami
1 kissing gourami
1 featherfin catfish
1 silver shark
The sailfin plec is the biggest fish in the tank and is 6"

The water is at a constant 24 degrees C and ph 5
Dont know anyother stats but i have nitrate, carbon, and other filter media in the filter.
Me n my mum wer gutted at the loss of the knife fish so she supprised me and i just arrived from school to find a floating bag in the tank! It had been ther 20 min so i better go put the baby knife fish in its new home! Thanks for the help!

Cheers, Joemuz
 
BGK fish seem to die very easily slight changed in water ther normally the first to go :( its a shame really i have had a problem with them before
 
Dont belive this! Just added the knife fish and it looks like its dieing, could it just be stressed?
All the other fish seem fine and have no thing visually wrong with them. The knife fish can swim fine but keeps lieing on the botton like it has no sence of direction or its disorientated. Cheers, Joemuz
 
knife fish are bling they work on a an eletric pulse a bit like the way bats get around that could be the problem maby it just needs to find its way
