Orthosternarchus tamandua

14. November 2014

There
are several critters among the South American knifefishes, but
Orthosternarchus tamandua is most probably the most unusual of all. We
were able to import a specimen from Peru. Our fish has a length of 25-30
cm, the maximum length reported for the species is about 45 cm.

For
our customers: the fish has code 271327 on our stocklist. Please note
that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Only one specimen
available!
