The Most ALIEN, DEEP SEA Freshwater Fish

Apteronotus Albifrons, or more commonly known as the Black Ghost Knife Fish, is a deepsea creature that somehow found itself lost in the freshwater rivers of South America. Sike Even though this fish looks like an alien coming from the deep, it s actually a true freshwater fish that is common in the aquarium trade. The Black Ghost Knife is practically blind, having tiny pinpoint eyes, a drawbridge mouth and a knife shaped body. These fish are primarily nocturnal, and they rely on electrical signals to navigate, find food and avoid danger. Even though these fish look hideous, they can t be quite friendly, and they actually make great pets. My Ghost Knife is about 6 years old and lives in my 880 gallon aquarium with other South American fish.
