Ah-kay. So about 6 months ago I gave in and bought the cutest li'l black ghost knife fish you've ever seen. $20 in Australia for a baby (2" I think) is pretty darn cheap, and I looked them up. Kept him in a li'l tank with some tiny gouramis knowing I was getting a bigger tank in a couple of months.
So I had him a week when I came home from university and found him dead, with the tip of his tail stuck in a TINY crack in my filter. I actually cried.
Now, I don't know if this is a common problem - I've looked everywhere and haven't been able to find anything, so I figured a thread was necessary.
I'd like to try again - keep a new little one in my pearlscale goldfish tank (15 gallons, but I'm overfiltering) with my kuhli loaches and a titchy little bristlenose. This would be temporary until he was a bit bigger and could fit in with my severums in my 100 gallon. My sevs are about 5"/6" (f/m).
What do you think? Should I try it again?

Whenever I loose a fish, I learn from whatever mistake I made when I had it, and normally give it another try. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't, lol.
