🐟 Tiger Knifefish – (Gymnotus tigre) – Striking South American Knifefish for Sale

The Tiger Knifefish (Gymnotus tigre) is a rare and visually striking South American knifefish known for its bold tiger-like vertical stripes across a long, slender body. Native to slow-moving rivers, floodplains, and swampy habitats in South America, this species is nocturnal and highly predatory, using its elongated body and undulating fin movement to glide stealthily through the water. While related to the more common Banded Knifefish (Gymnotus carapo), the Tiger Knifefish is distinguished by its more vivid striping and unique appearance. Best kept by experienced aquarists, it thrives in large aquariums with ample hiding spots.
