Midas Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 Learnt something today. Don't put small fish like 3cm pearl danios in a tank with a 7" black ghost knife fish. Eight went in yesterday, this morning theres only six and no trace of them remains, except my knife fish looks slightly fatter than normal. Must have been hungry I guess. I wondered where that missing pencil fish had got to. :-? So I took the remaining fish back and got something just slighlty bigger, 4 tin foil barbs! (although they are only 5-8cm at the moment).

Caryl Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 If the knifefish gets sick, check it for lead poisoning (from the pencilfish - in case you didn't get the joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 joined the bgk club ay midas. I have never had any trouble with the BGK eating my fish. They're real sacks during the day arent they. Does yours like 'sleeping' vertically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted June 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 I've had him for over a year now, just hadn't had many small fish in with him for a while till yesterday. I haven't seen him sleeping vertically but thats probably because the resin log that he sleeps in is horizontal. He does seem to sleep on his back quite bit though. And yeah, he doesn't do much during the day. Won't come out until the lights are out in the room. Then he seems to be out most of the night.
