It is named for its knife-shaped body, black coloration, and supposed spiritual qualities that it posesses, according to the folklore of some indigenous tribespeople of the Amazon. This fish swims by use of undulating movement of its very long anal fin and is able to swim in reverse as easily as swimming forward. It is a nocturnal predator and perceives its surroundings and prey by producing an extremely weak electrical pulse, which cannot be felt by other animals that do not produce this pulse.   The Black Ghost Knifefish
