Knollenorgans are NOT found in mormyriformes / mormyridae as far as I know. Mormyridae have mormyrasts as electric organs.

Knollenorgans are found in gymnotiformes like eigenmannia / knife fish! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Forodin (talkcontribs) Jmvgpartner (talk) 02:51, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
