Any CKF fans?

They're very attractive to look at when they're young but honestly, I can't figure why they sell them, since they eventually become simply enormous. Not many have the space or money to keep genuine monster fish once they get some growth on them.

Same reason they sell all large predators such as arrowanas

True enough, I suppose. I just don't get it.. the stores never tell anybody how big the darn things are going to get and I'd guess the majority of buyers have no idea when they buy them how big they're going to get. Seems sad to me. Then, I don't get why folks want things like Snakeheads either. I'm fondest of the very small fishes.. the tinier they are, the better I like most of them.

That's how I feel about most fish. I like little fish

I love all types of knife fish but no fish is perfect and with knife fish their adult size is what makes them a real heart breaker. I'd love to keep one once I have a large enough tank.
