How do Bichirs and Ghost Knives get along? I have a couple Senegals and have been contemplating putting in a Ghost knife for a while now. Is it safe to go or is there anything I should know.
 
sure they do fine with black ghost knifes

as for the cray fish it may not work out to we'll it can work but they like to chew up fins pretty bad do you mean the freshwater lobster in your avatar they can really doo some dammage i've seen them kept to gether just keep it we'll feed and make sure its big enough or the bichir might eat it

Yeah the Avatar is a pick of my Lobster dude.

Oh wait, crap, no I meant if the Crayfish would do well with the Ghost knife.

The Crayfish right now is at about 4" while the Bichir is just over 6". The Bichir knows better than to even go near the Crayfish and really they keep their distance anyway.

I was asking thought because IIRC, Ghost knives aren't very fast swimmers and like to hide under stuff, which is exactly what my Crayfish always does.
 
I can't vouch on that lol. But my ghostknife is great with the bichirs unless they try to sneak into his rock cave(see his cave in the last pic)...lol.

Wow you have a nice yet simple set up and some very nice Senegals along with that BGK. How big is the knife?
