Finally came across a knife I liked, and by the way they were acting figured he'd make a good cleaner. He's a Brown Ghost Knife, not a big fan of knives like CKs but I like the BGKs and the arowana knives. The ones w/ a more elongated jaw. So far I'm really enjoying him, he flies in all sorts of directions when I pour the food mix haha. I like the tan stripe down the back too, this is the first time I ever saw one of these at all so if anyone can help me out on growth rate and such it would be much appreciated

He's probably like 4 inch, not aggressive in the least. Sifts through the sand looking for bits of food I assume, rests in some plastic plants to sleep

No idea on the growth rate, would love to know as well. Unfortunately that other thread doesn't say anything about it either! :)
Would love to see more pics of it.

This guys still around and gaining some size, super hard to get a decent pic of though

Only reason I bothered uploading this one is its the only decent full body shot I got, he's a little longer then my teugs so I'd guess 5 to 6 inch, has a much longer skinnier tale then black ghosts

Yea the first time i saw one of these i went home and researched haha, expect the same growth as a normal BGK so close to 12"+, theyre pretty much the exact same thing as BGK except for the elongated snout or jaw. They still have a very wide mouth and should be treated pretty much the same.
