Awsome you should post pics, but i was wondering how the brown ghosts do and are they mixed with the knife fish?
How old are your knifes? I've heard reports of them getting older and becoming territorial.
Anyway, that sounds amazing. If the knifes are the only fish in your tank, you could add more, otherwise, you might overstock. I'd hold back on getting a BGK though, because they can be aggressive towards other electric fish, especially ones that look like them.
Oh, and pics would be nice.

That's a beautiful tank.
It would be amazing if you tried to breed them. Never heard of any attempts, and I'm curious as to what it's like. I'm sure you have at least one male and female...[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]

That's really neat. I love my ABK, if they do ok in groups I will try to get more...he used to be so shy but now he's right there begging for food all the time.
Very nice. I had always thought about putting more than 2 ABK in a tank. Now I may have to try it.
And I wouldn't get a BGK. They can be very aggressive, and mine even fights my ABK every now and a again.

Although it's really cool, it is not a good idea. For one the bioload has to be violently high. And also, knifefish have impaired vision which gets worse with age. For this reason they emit electrical shocks to smell food, danger and cover. These can interfere with other emissions and cause them to get disoriented and they will stop eating. Very nice though!
