What about an Albino Senegal for a contrast...same size as the normal, but it would be a total contrast to the BGK...

BTW, thanks for the heads up, I was about to go get an ornate for my 90 gallon set up this week-end(about 4"), after reading this post, I'm holding out for a Delhezi, it would make a great tank mate for my Senegal (about 11" last I checked) and albino (about 6") I already own...

I lost my other albino during the move to the 90-stressed itself to death me thinks, was porpoising (or breaching-swimming on her tail?!) wildly the night before she died...:(

No problem. :) Also, I agree that an albino senegal would look awesome with a BGK too.
 
synodontis petricola are kinda small. BGK's get big enough and have big enough mouths that they will eventually eat your little catfish.

I can't imagine a BGK at any size eating anything larger than a swordtail. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, anybody.
 
i said it's possible.. i know i wouldn't endanger my little goofballs. i just can't take that chance.
 
BGK aren't aggresive the only reason they would eat one is if they thought it was food. My BGK of 11+inches hasn't touched my peppered corys or my colombian tetras, including a runt tetra that was no bigger than a neon. As for the BGK contrasting with albino senegal, I have both in the same tank but due to BGK being nocturnal I haven't been able to see that. Although the contrast between my senegal and EBJD is awesome.
 
I am setting up a 75 gallon (4' x 16"x 24") now. I'll be moving my 8 angel fish, 6 clown loaches, one EBJD and one Lemon Oscar into that tank. Could I add a black ghost knife? All my fish are still small, 4 inch clown loach is the biggest.
 
Im setting up a 115ish tank, 51x22x22, for my Fahaka Puffer and Im wondering if a BGK would be a suitable tank mate? I do know that puffers can be aggressive but Ive seen people with them having neons and stuff like that, so im curious about a BGK. Mine lives with ghost shrimp and otos right now
