sorry to bother everyone again guess what i got given last night ????

a suposed knife fish which i was not sure about @ all i thought it was a catfish of some sort only to get home and identify it as a Bloo*y wels catfish cant belive it the skanker and after ringing them up they still denied all knoledge cant belive some poeple
 
Well JE-Bass thats nasty those things are huge eating machines and it was sold to you as a tropical knife fish? whew nasty. Although the barbels and the horizontally compressed head should of been a give away but not all things are obvious when we see a fishy we like eh? I would take the thing back and demand a refund or the eqiuvalent credit, once thats done boycott the store or at least be wary of the purchasing oddballs from there.......... but i tell ya it will grow this big :thumbs:
 
nice one buddy many thanks it will be on way back over the weekend and will be more careful like i said thought it was a cat not a knife pity it was a wel's
 
Your in trouble, I have seen one of those things eat a Swan! No kidding, I also heard of one that managed to get in a Koi pond and eat about 20 30"+ fish. Big, mean and nasty.
 
Here is a picture of a good sized one -
