Aqua Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Just a thought... How well do you think these would live with a Black Ghost Knife Fish?? * Betta splendens (male & females) * Corydoras * Ancistrus spp. * Guppies The guppies would obviously be feeder fish for the BG & Bettas... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 oh yeah, and what plants would people suggest? I'd need some floating, and some 'fluffy' stuff to provide hiding places eh? Vallisneria Cabomba Indian Fern (to float) Anubias nana What else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo1 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 We were babysitting a BG. At first I thought he was lovely until he dug up the plants! He hid all day and only really saw him at night. I have seen people put large clear perspex tubing in the front of their tanks for them. I heard they are blind and they go in the tube thinking they are hiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yup - they're close enough to blind to not make much of a difference. They can tell light from dark though... They navigate primarily through a weak electrical field, this also helps them find prey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 You're a gem Mystic What about sand as a substrate? I know it has the tendency to pack down & get pockets of anaerobic gas (or whatever), but I've heard that there's snail's that will burrow into the sand, which stops that from happening? Or maybe I should just stick with the black gravel I used last time in my 4' tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Yeah, I was thinking sand, 'cause the Black Ghost I used to have spent a lot of time sleeping on the gravel, and 'cause they're scaleless (or so I've heard) I thought sand would be nicer for them... And I want to get some cory's, and sand would be much better for their barbels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Gee that was a quick reply!! Are you not at work, or are you being like me, and checking this instead of doing work? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
