Hello everyone, I was wondering what kind of fish I should get with my black ghost knifefish. I am thinking to get an angelfish but, if they attack my GKF, then I would need a better one. Does anyone know if I should buy it or no? If so, what should I get? I have a very small tank but, that's all I have. My tank is 48 litres. I really don't know what to do so please someone tell me. Sorry for my punctuation and language technique, I'm only 12.

Your profile says 29.

Anyway, 48 litres is far too small for a black ghost knife. Unless you can get a much larger tank I would recommend returning it and getting something more appropriate for the tank :)

Given the eventual size of 30cm+ it's not ideal long term.

I keep African knifefish in a 250l tank, much more manageable :)
