Apteronotus magdalenensis

The Apteronotus magdalenensis lives in the benthopelagic, freshwater environment.

Apteronotus magdalenensis can grow to well over a metre and Juveniles are sometimes sold as Black Ghost Knife fish (Apteronotus albifrons) which may be where confusion could occur. My 20" BGKF could eat chunks of fish the size of my thumb. More
