By the Beach!
My girlfriend is finally interested in getting a real fish (not one of those bubble eye goldfish for once) and she really likes black ghost knife fish! So would a BGK get along in my tank?

Stock List:

12" S.A. Lungfish
5" Leopard Ctenopoma
2 Veil Angels (silver dollar size)
L18
L200

From what Ive read I think i would be fine but I'd love some advice from personal experience!!

What size is ur tank ??? BGK can get to 12-15" long.. they also like to hide more than swim.. so.. its sorta like a pleco... only it eats fish...
 
I agree... just make sure they are almost in the same sizes... :)
Nice pick... I really love BGK... Just dont buy too many BGK they prefer living alone(only one BGK in 55g)

go for it...hilarious fish...out of all the fish I have kept one of the most fun to watch

YEAH! and especially when he do the circus things... I love it! :D
 
It should be fine. However, I wonder about the SAL. I've always heard that Lungfish are aggressive, so I guess that would be the only one I'd keep an eye on.
 
Agree... If I were you, I'll put some hiding places for the BGK which only the BGK will fit in...
