looks like a clown knife, they got real popular as a sport fish in the florida canals after people released them from aquariums.

Its a clown knife fish native to southeast Asia but released into the Lake Ida canal system.

I know Lake Ida is a popular spot.

Pretty sure Lake Ida is one of the only areas to catch them in Florida.

Neither did the person that bought it for their tank.
Friendly reminder to everybody to do their research before buying a pet, and NEVER release them into the wild.

Some species of knife fish can get over 4 feet long.

I hear half their meat is a slimey gray. Freaks me out.

They're a popular food fish in Thailand, try frying them.
