they can get aggressive..mine is.and only if the tank is big enough for 2 because when i had 2 in my tank they were fighting all day.but if you get 2 babies then it could work because they will know eachother.
Black ghost knife is a very fragile fish in these beginning stages.. they will hide alot ..so the most important thing is to make sure he is eating... so many are lost at this stage because they are intimidated by their tankmates and afraid to come out to eat.. so if you do not actually see him eating..make sure you get those blood worms to him ...in front of his face..once he is stronger and hardy you don't have to worry as much..they will scout around for their food... later hikari pellets are a good staple diet..And they always say 2 will fight unless they are offerered a very large tank
its a 125...so it shoudl be big enough for 2 babies right? YEah the guy at the pet store told me they are very timid. and hide a lot so i bought him a tube, and he has a couple other places as well, as soon as i put him in the 125g though he went crazy haha swimming around and just looked like he was enjoying it, and he ate bloodworms right from the top, but now he likes hiding behing the power head for some reaosn haha with the 2 baby peakocks.
Usually, BGKs don't get along with one another. Even with that size tank, I'd keep a close eye on them as the get bigger. A 125g should be plenty of room for 2 small ones. Also be aware that they grow pretty slow while Pbass grow really fast. They may end up as a snack for the Pbass if he decides he's a little more hungrier than usual.
thats probably all im going to keep is the 2 pbass and the gk. Maybe a baby silver aro, not sure what else would be cool for the tank
