Suprise Fish ( Black Ghost Knife )

[NickAu]

So I went to check on the big Charity tank I look after the other day, And was shocked to see a new addition to the tank.

I couldnt keep it in that tank as it has salt in it, My LFS dont really want it, I have a friend who will take it but he cant come and get it for a few weeks ( he lives too far away ).
 
I had no choice but to put it in with my gourami for now,

Well done for getting it out of there. Not many BGKs ever find suitable accommodation , good luck.

Good to know he'll get a proper home.
Lovely fish.

:O where did he come from? who put him in there?

it will be fine with the gourami. BGKs are lovely fish, They do grow quite large but after an initial race to about 7 inch or so it slows down. They will take tetra size fish but I would not describe them as aggressive or boisterous. Ive kept them with discus in the past and in an oddball tank with clown knives gars and Oscars etc.
 
Easy to feed as they are so greedy and ace to watch
