BLACK GHOST KNIFE

This popular Fish got their name from the story that dead souls inhabit them.

APPEARANCE

They resemble a knife, with their almost dark bodies, aside from the white rings on their tail and a white stripe on their nose. Their long, flat, scaleless body can reach up to 20 inches.

LIFESPAN

They have an average lifespan of 15 years if they are properly cared for.

DIET

They are also carnivores who consume live food in the form of flakes, sinking bits, and chopped Earthworms.

TANK SETUP

Their tank should be a minimum of 150 gallons to reach maximum size. The lighting should be dim and the tank should have hiding places; otherwise, the Fish may become aggressive.

TANK MATES

Other peaceful and similar-sized Fish, such as Catfish or Cichlids, are recommended as tank mates. However, they are better off without others of their own kind as they tend to become aggressive towards one another. Each added tank mate should also be at least six inches in size.
