I think you may have misread somone's post...they ARE getting along just fine. Watch this vid, the ghosties make their appearance at about 50 seconds into it:

Just cause I'm feeling all kinds of sharing today. I tried 4 real small black ghosts in my 80gallon. Biggest was about 4" and he picked his own cave. By the way, don't trust the pic, I had maybe a dozen caves in this bad boy. They wouldn't fight behind the rock, they would swim to the other side of it and start biting, then swim back just as seen.

I wish you guys would start reading the whole thread before posting. I solved the problem almost a year ago and they have been getting along just fine. Check the vid a few posts back. Thanks for posting your advice anyways though.
 
Please help with knife fish. I have kept them before. Clowns,royals ,and ghost but i cant seem to find suitable tankmates. i love these fish however i feel they are to delicate for bichirs or sum types of chiclids. I will try geos and kives nxt.
