No..lol... I was talking about my BGK he swims upside down, on his side....He even did a actual flip the other day....
He's the most curious fish around too!

I think the black ghost would be the loser with most of them... they are more community type .. they will eat smaller fish but are not aggressive... so i would not put a BGK with those guys..not saying it has not been done successfully but i would be nervous...Austin;2241019; said:
This first time I saw this fish in a pet store I became obsessed with them.
There were a bunch floating in a bag as a shipment just came in and I was completly stunned for 5 minutes about staring at them. They were only about 3-4 inches long and I didnt have any money luckily as I would have gotten one and put it in my 10 gallon like an idiot.
This fish stands out to me more than any other fish I have ever seen (Including crazy colorful and exotic saltwater fish)
Luckily I did my research and when I do get one will be able to house it properly in a nice 100 gal tank. . .

would a bgk be okay with gold and silver CK's? and a young silver aro ? there all about 6 inches the bgk is a lil bigger i think ... ok since bgk is bigger? more friendly ?
The BGKs are very territorial. I personally wouldn't mix Knives, but that's just me. Some people have had success with it. Good Luck
Black Ghosts are one of the most fascinating, fun fish I have ever owned. I currently have one that's 3-4" (maybe a little more), and it's like having a pet dog, personality-wise. I swear, if I drop one single freeze-dried bloodworm in the tank, he jolts out of his pvc pipe, and starts scanning the top of the tank in a vertical sprint... It's absolutely hilarious. Lately i've been hand-feeding him small pieces of earthworms - I try not to do it too often, I want his diet to mainly be the bloodworms, with the earthworms as a treat, because if I have my Striped Peacock and my Black Ghost eating worms, it could get a bit pricey.
I'm going to have to back up benzjamin13 as far as being territorial. He's calmed down quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, but when his friend the Peacock Eel (unagi - yes, they're friends) would try to crash in, or behind his pvc pipe, my Ghost would be like "uh-uh... *nip*" my Eel would just be like "Come on... Really?!"
They're both able to stay in or around it now though.
