Title pretty much sums it up, how often do clown knife fish come up? For sale? Or even how often do you see them around.
Personally, I've just seen the one in vebas in the mega tank.

what shops are you guys seeing them at? vebas does or did have a decent size one and I know if 2 in private collections

I haven't sen them in years. there was a royal for sale over east for 1K. ana  a few small clowns came up not long ago, but not sure how youd go bringing them interstate.

the last lot of small ones were $600 each from memory. but again, overeast, not sure how youd go bringing them from over east. but if they came up for sale, id be keen.
