hey,
I'm just wondering what other types of fish my black ghost knife would get along with. I know clown loaches but no other electrical fish. How about a jack dempsey. The ghost is about 6 inches right now and in a 75 gallon bow front.

Nothing too small as the BGK could eat it when he gets larger although mine didn't when in my sons tank..... or nothing too large and agressive I personally would not keep one with a Jack Dempsey

Think potential size so anything a 20" fish cant eat is what you should keep with it. Plus you will need a far larger tank.

i have my ghost knives in with all sorts of fish and haven't had any problems yet. i have a black, brown and white knife in the one tank and have had elephant nose fish in there too. as long as they have somewhere to hide they seem to keep to themselves. ive had them in there for almost 2 years now too

yeah that tank is small for all those fish,

jade gobys are probably BW, as are F8 puffers. F8 puffers also get agressive when they get older. and the ghost will need a way bigger tank. just lettin u kno

& i think you might be able to add a severum with the ghost.. but a sev is my answer to stocking every tank with enough room in it. biggrin.gif
