The Clown Knifefish label needs the full identity

The Clown listing retains the older Notopterus chitala name alongside Chitala chitala in its care information. It is separate from Notopterus notopterus, the Bronze Featherback. Common names are not a reliable adult-size limit, and a small supplied fish does not stay small.

Turning room matters as much as volume

Plan a substantial footprint, unobstructed turning space, secure cover and filtration capable of handling a large carnivore. Provide retreats without creating tight gaps. Small fish and shrimp can become food; agree suitable companions and feeding before choosing.
