New update Knifefish!! :D and yellow lab holding eggs!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
oh **** your right..... lol forgot about the nocturnal part... Hmmmm What do you suggest..? Just not keep the knives with the africans? Take the knives back? Damn I really like the look of them lol...

Well, you have two options, keep them with tankmates too big to eat (3"+ to be on the safe side) / keep the knife fish by themselves or get rid of them unless you want to risk feeding them expensive feeders lol
 
lol... hmmm I think I am going to take them back. Now the black ghost knife is always hidden (I don't know at night though you said they are nocturnal) and he is about 2.5 inches should I just take him back to? lol I don't know how fast the black knife grows. Thanks Clown
 
Knife fish are awesome, I would get rid of your CK and just keep your brown and black knife fish alone in the 125g and put your africans in another tank...that way your safe and can enjoy having both knife fish and africans

But if you don't want a fish that hides most of the time and only comes out at night then I would not keep knife fish if I were you.

..Btw they say african knives are more active than bgks or cks
 
2 browns 1 black ghost and a clown :O and damn my clown knifes mouth is huge! I just opened him up for sniggles and giggles and he bit me! what a dick! I did take him out of his element though, but he can open up to be half a penny... That's actually pretty big...
 
Well If you keep the Ck...If it surivives to be 8inch+ it will dominate your whole entire tank. It will probaly eat ur africans and beat the other knives to death. Ck are territtorial and also when harassesed they will fight back.. Atm I have a 20-21inch Ck and its a beast

oh & lol ;)
 
Well guys I hate to say it, but after hearing all this I think I might just return all the knives.. I though they could go great even without the CK, but if browns and blacks are the same, then I don't want them eating my africans :O
 
You know what I am thinking of keeping the black knife because he is really small and seems to be really shy and when he gets bigger I can sell him to my friend for what I paid for him.
