yesterday i got a 55 gallon tank. i want to know if i could get a black ghost knife fish to put in the tank. is a 55 enough room.
 
Are you talking about a Black Ghost Knife or Black Asian Knife?
 
A BGK can get pretty big. They can grow up to 16"-20" A 55g will do fine for awhile, but a 75 would be better.

Is 96G tank sufficient for a BGK/CK? I can't upgrade further.

Yup, the bigger tank the better. :headbang2 and put some hiding place for the BGK, they are nocturnal you know.
 
ive started a tank rotation which is going to kill my savings in the long run, but as my addtiction grows i have to keep getting bigger tanks. so i have my bgk in a 30 gal now and a ck in a 75gal and when i can afford to build a monster tank ill move the bgk to the 75 and the ck up to the monster.
