xxl BGK with 10 inch Payara?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I wanted to add a 10 inch Payara Armatus to my 180 with a 16inch black ghost knife.
I am scared the ghost will bother the Payara at night?

My ghost is small, but he doesn't bother anyone. Is your ghost aggresive? Mine sort of keeps to himself so I would say you should go for it and just keep an eye on him. I wouldn't expect any problems.

I've also got an xxl bgk and hè is always nipping on my pseudoplatystoma when hè is in his way. I've you got one you can put a little blue moonlight lamp in it to see what happens.

I wouldn't worry about the BGK bothering the Armatus, I would worry about the Armatus killing your knife.
 
alot of times preds can't resist the white tip of the tail. the preds bite it and kill the knife.
 
Hard to say, I have two clown knife fish in with my Payara. Payara is 8" and two knives are around 12". The knives seem more aggressive if anything than the Payara. I would think same would be true of the Ghost Knives.
