I have never heard anything good about keeping an aba aba with anything long term. What an AWESOME fish though. Can't wait to see pics!

I wouldn't say it's impossible as there have been success with keeping multiple Black Ghost Knives in a tank with success even though it's been said to be better off alone. Heck, even a lot of things I've read on CKs said that they should be kept alone or be the only Knife in the tank, yet a lot of members have proven that wrong. I'm going to say it's a possibility, but if it doesn't work out, it's going to be an expensive lesson to learn.
You got that from BigSaveDiscounts! You beat me to it!!! Hahaha! Nicely done! It was definitely a looker! Please please please keep the pictures and updates coming!!!
Update!!!! I've found some but I can't get them till almost two weeks from now. RRRG!

Hopefully I can keep this monster alive! I paid $160 for the fish and $100 shipping, a little pricy but I'm happy.
I have it in a 180, temps around 80. One ocean clear closed loop canister filter and a sump wet/dry filter system. I'm set up for power feeding

Peanut_Power;4767629; said:So would it be better to grow them up in a smaller tank, say a 29gal or so, till they get larger? Lots of decorations, low light, and plenty of filtration.
I was hoping to get some in the 4 to 6" range, although they seem ridiculously hard to find. I screwed up and missed my chance to get a 10" one, still bummed about that.
I started mine in a 75 gallon tank in July. He was 7". A 29 might not work for very long but would likely be great if you get a tiny one to start with.
TFD usually has them in the spring. They usually put them on Aquabid. Mine was purchased from them by my LFS. I contacted TFD first and they gave my LFS a good price so I got a good deal on him.
Here is mine 14" and growing fast.
