The clown featherback (Chitala ornata), also known as the clown knifefish and spotted knifefish, is a nocturnal species of tropical fish with a long, knife-like body. This knifefish is native to freshwater habitats in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Macau, Thailand, and Vietnam, [2] but it has also been introduced to regions outside its native range. [1]
The body of these fish is unusual; it is ventrolaterally flattened and elongated, giving the appearance of a knife blade. The caudal and anal fins are fused and run from beneath the gill opening to the pointed end of the body, creating a uniform, skirt-like fin. This appendage gives the animal superior control in the water, as it is able to ...
A lid is needed as they have been known to jump out. Black Ghost knifefish get to a maximum size of 50 cm (20 in) in the wild, but usually stop growing at 30 cm (12 in) in home aquaria, although they may grow to 38 cm (15 in) in a larger tank. They should be provided with a shelter (such as a plastic tube or driftwood) in which to hide.

These fish are best kept with live or frozen feed and they easily outgrow the tank within eight to ten months. An aquarium with the minimum diameter of 6 by 3.5 feet (1.8 by 1.1 m) and 300 US gallons (1,100 L; 250 imp gal) is suggested as a bare minimum but 400–800 US gallons (1,500–3,000 L; 330–670 imp gal) is the best way to go.
