I have a black ghost knife about 5inches I want to put around 12 Zebra Nerite Snails in the tank with it. It’s 125 Gallons lots of plants and decorations. I just want to know if anyone here has any information on if they will not be killed by the BGK. Thanks for any information.

Welcome to MFK
 
It's highly possible that you BGK will eat the snails eventually. The BGK's are largely nocturnal, so he may eat them at night. He'll eat the snails, but not sure about eggs.. Also Nerite Snail eggs don't hatch in freshwater, so they won't be reproducing new snails if they're eaten.
