black ghost knifefish tankmates

[catfish hippy man (dylan)]

i have a black ghost knifefish in a small 26 gallon aquarium it will be moved to a bigger tank soon, the aquarium i will buy is 6' x 2' x 2' from this website
: http://www.ndaquatics.co.uk/?pg=pricelist. it will be a blackwater amazonian biotope. i am not shure about tankmates for the bgk, would x5 silver dollers, x3 pictus catfish, x1 spotted rapheal, x1 striped rapheal, x3 twig catfish and a lima shovelnose be okay tankmates for the bgk.

should be okay, but watch the lima with the smaller fish

Silver Dollars do not make good tank mates for BGK - they are so food driven that they try to take food out of the mouth of the BGK. They became very aggressive and I was afraid they would injure my BGK - does not take a lot with scaleless fish.

I tried it for a week and then moved the Silver Dollars to another tank.
