I just bought 2 Black Ghost Knife Fish and they're the kewlest fish ever! :wub:

But they have this tendency to lie down on the gravel... on their sides, at first I thought they're dead and then they suddenly they jump up again and swim around!?

What kind of behaviour is this? Can't find anything on the web and they don't seem unhappy or distressed at all? Is this normal behaviour? and why do they do it?
 
Some fish do show that behavour like clown loaches but not sure on your fish.
How big is the tank in gallons or litres.

I hope you have a big tank as Ghost Knife get large and will eat anything they can get in their mouth :)

not to mention 2 males will try to destroy each other.



make sure to give each of them a cave (pref. 2 each-so they can choose) and plenty of plants to break their line of sight - should help.
