Hungry black ghost knife fish


Midas

Recommended Posts

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).

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.
