Información del producto

🐟 Royal Clown Knifefish – (Chitala blanci) – Rare Freshwater Knifefish for Sale

The Royal Clown Knifefish (Chitala blanci) is a rare and highly prized knifefish species found in the Mekong River Basin of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Distinguished from the more common Clown Knifefish (Chitala ornata) by its larger size, unique spot patterns, and more elongated body shape, this species is considered one of the ultimate display fish for large freshwater aquariums.

Due to its potential size and predatory nature, it is best suited for experienced keepers with extremely large aquariums or indoor ponds.
