Belonesox belizanus is a live bearer from Central America (I think). grows to about 8inches, comes from hard alkaline water with a bit of salt. And is an ambush predator. They hide under leaves and wait for something to swim by. Then they snap it up.
Anything that doesn't fit in its mouth should be fine but they have a big mouth. |

You never mention how big is your tank. Black ghost knifefish probably will need 150 to 225gal tank as they can reach more than 20 inch long. How many butterfly fish?
