so i just got my first BGK! this guy was nice enough to give it to me ! guess his comm tank was gettin eaten from what he told me . hes about 9 inches maybe a year or 2 old . and hes awesome :)

he has more of a brown smudge on his nose or bridge i guess lol. could he be brown ghost??
very curious seems to be checkin the elecs from the pond pump atm . i moved all my baby tigers for now so he could at least chill for the time being.

i want to move him into my aro/knife tank . are they suitable/ ?
the only aggresion in tank is between the clowns and i hardly call it that more like playing ;)

think it cold work ? they all have big caves. the silver aro owns the top.

i've heard that BGK's are very territorial with other BGK's.. but i honestly don't know about adding them to a tank with other knife fish.. you MAY run into the same kind of situation.

my BGK fusses over a small piece of realestate in the 135 gallon tank with his arch nemesis (a common pleco), but they've been doing that since they met and no one has got hurt, it's mostly just pushing back and forth and then the pleco goes and hangs on the glass..
 
BGKs are very territorial, especially with other electric fish like other Gymnos and Mormyrids. Some people have had success with mixing Knives, so you can try it, but keep a close eye on them.
