Well i set up a 120 with 3 ghost knifes, 1 male and 2 females! Tank has 3 areas for hiding and completely covered with plants! Going to try to breed them! Any advice, has anybody tried to house a group of BGK's. The females are about 12" each and the new male i got is 10"!
3 BGK"s in a 120

After researching i found that the males head looks more like a horse, longer nose, and the females head is shorter and rounder!
You could at least give them each a house of thier own. Like Pvc pipes just to make sure. But incase you find symptoms of aggresion, better have each of them in thier own tank.

i have heard of this working before and i've seen 2 living together comfortably although thats not normally recommended,i think you have a great chance to breed them,it has happened before albeit by accident,go for it
Lots of fighting, but there are times when everybody is resting. There are 5 big black ghost all living in a 120! I am going to wait 1 more day, i think i have a pair!
I was talking with this dude in Australia that has almost 1 dozen huge Black Ghost knifes in a 240 8 2 2!
He says he has alot of pipes for everybody in case one gets a little beat up! He is a breeder and knows his stuff.
Another guy from the Amazon mentioned a cool method i have been trying and thats to have dividers in the tank with a little space ontop for each ghost to swim back and forth. My 3 seem to be hanging seperate, then at night fight but keep retreating to there own sections in the day! I am still trying to make it happen and will keep trying forever! Getting another big male next week hoping my female will like his stuff!
