I spawned my Ghost knife!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Forget photos- we need video!
Practically the only guy on earth spawning BGKs in tank, can't get ahold of a camera so we can watch too.
Borrow one?! LOL.

Exciting thread.

What's the minimum size of the mating ghosts? I can read the size of your current ones, just not sure if there were previous attempts.
Thanks.
 
wow the tails is almost fully formed and it's started to turn black. Egg sack still much bigger than body (which is a size of planaria).
I tried getting a photo using my ****ty camera but it's barely visible.
 
alexanian, imo tank size doesn't matter for them to spawn as I had a trio in a 2 footer and they laid constantly. (though I never saw the eggs hatch) possible dirty water??? as filter system sucked on it.
Now they are in a standard 4 foot in a malawi condition!!! (i think as I never test water chemistry, just assume it's right by the stuff I add, though since it hatched, i'll test ph and post it here soon).
Btw 2 frys are still doing great. the egg size really hasn't decreased much but their tail end is visibly flattened and kinda looks like a feather.
i'll try get a camera today from a friend so hopefully pictures to come very soon.
 
..... I never test water chemistry, just assume it's right by the stuff I add,....

Sounds like a Chef!

Tank size doesn't matter.
Water doesn't matter.

Let's face it: gianniz just has to breathe on everything & give it a stir ;)
 
lol petspoiler.

water tested.

PH = 7.8

ok off to hardware store to find a mesh fine enough so the frys don't keep escaping!
 
Oh darn. SO sorry you squished one, it looks like a goner.
BUT *huge congrats*, the live one is a treasure! HOW cute to see. I hope he makes it all the way.
either way, you've already made great strides. it's only a matter of time before you have a bunch.
I can't believe all the spawning your ghosts do.

What are you going to try for the 1st fry foods?

Thanks. Keep the videos coming!
