Hand feeding a black ghost knife

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yes they do and they will actually lay on your hand there cool old post i see but just to say it =))
 
I hand feed mine... It took a few tries as it was me who was more spooked than the fish :)

I got nipped a couple times by accident - it didnt hurt just startled me. Of course my boyfriend was watching and he had a good laugh.
 
I finally got my bgk eating out of my hand the other day using bloodworms. I'm more nervous when my clown loaches eat from my hand than my bgk. My knife was actually very gentle when it came up to me. He just knew what he wanted and even begged for more after he downed the whole cube. :D

Turn off all the tank/room lights, And put your hand next to its hiding place, It takes ALOT of patience lol!
 
mine is new to his tank, and quite small. I've heard they can be hand feed, but my tire track eels are already trained to do so, doubt mine would ever come to my hand with those two crowding it.
 
I started by holding an earthworm worm next to her hideout with the lights off. Next time with lights on. Next time i held it half way up to top. Next time at top. Now she swims and comes to top when people are near tank with lights on. When hungry sticks her head out of the water looking for earthworms.
 
Haha wow that's so cool!
I wish I could get a bgkmy biggest tank is 70L
not really enough
 
Mine doesn't hand feed, but then again, I have never tried. Finally have my Gar trained so maybe I can focus on my BGK now. He's around 6"+ right now.
