Hello I am really interested in getting a Black Ghost Knifefish. I saw one at the LFS about three years ago and have been obsessed ever since. Untill recently I haven't had a big enough tank for one. Now that I do I was wondering if anyone has ever had them with Angelfish and if it worked well. The Angels are pretty much full grown so I don't think the BGK would be able to eat them. They also mostly stay towards the top so they wouldn't even really encounter each other that often. So has anyone ever tried this and if so, how did it go?

I think if you start off with a juvie BGK everthing should be fine, just make sure there is something in the aquarium that the BGK can retreat to for security such as a knife fish tube, or pvc pipe can be used. BGK are more active after lights out, not saying they will not be seen during the day. Some members have their BGK eating out of their hands. :)
