BGK get really territorial when they find a place that they like, so if you have more than one in the tank make sure that there are many good hiding spaces, cause even when they are big they still like to hide. Other than their own territory, they seem to get along well in a community tank.

I have one myself and I think they are really cool fish.By the way I read about them in tropical fish.

knives use electicity to sense stuff. that is why ghost pipes work. but two fish with these same electricity forces would hate it and become very stressed. that is why elepahnt noses dont go good with knives either

They are not that hard to breed i have not bred them but i have a frined that breeds them in a 4ft tank, Males get a horse shaped head and when they are of breeding size the white in there tail gets a redish couler to it the females have a rounder head like the one in sypher's photo.

Can you provide pics so we can determine the sex of the BGK? How about when they are still juveniles around 3-4 inches, are thier sex distinguishable?
