Silly me
Fish Addict
I had the opportunity to visit a Fish Farm, close to home yesterday, I was hoping to get some clown knifes.
When I was looking at the breeding tank (more like a pond) of the clown knifes, there was the biggest knifes I ever seen min 3ft scanning the water like ghost... WOW. well that’s to nice part,
The room was full of huge tank, mainly build into the floor with glass covering the front to view, the smallest 400 Gal in size..
As Andre ( the owner ) I was looking at the angles tank there was some deformed fry, he then fished them out with a net, and tossed them into the knifes tank, or the oscar tank or what ever big fish was the closest. and that when for everything, from the gold fish right to the oscar or knife fry. If the fry was slightly deformed it was dropped into a other pond where it would be fed to the bigger fish at a later stage...
Out of the 500 fry about 100 of them end up as food, 100 more died for one or the other funny reason. and since angles is so plentyfull, selling for half the price as a guppy, they are the fist to go if its not 110% perfect.
I am a proud owner of 2 more knifes in a 10Gal tank hoping to one day have a tank with 2-3 of these monster fish
