19" CLOWN KNIFEFISH

.

A common fish found in aquariums
, but you wont find many repros for sale , this would make a nice mount . The first picture shows the fish I used to make the mold.
The normal coloring of the Clown Knifefish is a silvery gray characterized by a variable pattern of large spots above the base of the anal fin. Yet sometimes they may have no spots at all, and sometimes they may have two rows of smaller spots. Other common names it is known by are Clown Featherback Fish, Spotted Knifefish, Spotted Featherback Fish, and Clown Knife.
They are found in South East Asia; Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
The Clown Knifefish can reach up to about 3 1/2 feet (100 cm) and weigh about 11 pounds (5 kg) in the wild.
This fish blank is custom made to order and includes the fins so it will take a few days to make depending upon the weather .
You will be getting the fish as it comes out of the mold . All you need to do is wash in warm water to remove the green PVA mold release , then use tin snips or a hack saw and trim the excess flange off the blank , sand the seams , cut out and install fins ,and paint .
I also have molds for over 100 more salt and freshwater fish so if you need anything else , just ask .
