brown vs. black ghost knives

[PToney]

I currently have both a brown and black ghost knife in the same tank. No major issues, only when they try to occupy the same space. They nudge each other and then move on. So far my brown is a little more out going but not by much. They both come out often day or night. The only odd thing I have noticed is that the brown likes to stick his nose in the sand over and over again. By the morning the bottom of the tank is completely pock marked.

African cichlids like hard alkaline water while BGK likes soft acidic water. Give them lots of cover for territories so they won't bother the BGK.

indeed, cichlids are very unpredictable though i admit i like this about them.. if you know how to work with them i believe that they won't harm you
