@chub they're the only knifefish that shoal and fare much better in groups throughout their lives, it may have died down the bullieing if it had a friend or 2 it may have fared better, and probobly eaten better
I've had one for about 6 months in a heavily planted tank. He seems pretty happy, but it is a quiet tank with only an Elephant Nose and a few other laid back fish.
Likes Blood Worms saw him eat a ghost shrimp too, fairly active in contrast to the BGKF's I have elsewhere
Had one a while back in a more active tank, never saw him get bullied but he just hid in the corner the whole time and only lived about 2 weeks.
