Assuming you have real plants, which def looks like it. What type of substrate and lighting system do you have? CO2 injector? Sorry kinda off topic of the BGK, but I'm planning a similar planted tank.

@Purality They are all real. Everything is from a standard Juwel 240 liter tank. No special substrate, lighting or CO2 system.

these have to be some of the friendliest fish in a tank. Whenever I fix the decorations in my tank it starts swimming through my fingers

@Stardustarmor24 slow growth rate you got going on there. I have 3 right now growing in a 55 (soon to move up to a bigger tank once i sell off my angry arowana) there probly about a year old and ones 1 foot then ones 8 inches, and ones a bit younger at 6 inches. bottom feeding tablets are very good. The black ghost knives in my tank have eaten 1 4 inch ornate bichir and 1 5 in needle gar over the time ive owned them. I was suprised... ate eyes out then picked dead bodies clean

@pchabz Damn. . .well i have had them all for over a year in a 100 gal tank now and so far so good. The angels are as big as an opened hand and only my female veiled angel will shove the blood parrot out of its territory every now and then. All the fish have been doing really good. The ghost eats out of my hand and has never once attacked anything . not even the mollies(luckily). I have also read that a ghost knife will only get a little over 12-14 inches in a home tank. 16 inches in rare cases.

@Stardustarmor24 eventually the black ghost knife will eat your little fishies! They will eat dead fish as well so if fish go missing overnight there probly the culprit. The angelfish will be bullies to your black ghost knife and cause it to hide all the time. Or until it gets mad enough and starts biting off chunks of your angelfish. Much larger fish are usually a better choice. However your Gourami depending on what kind can also be a bully when older. Bad mix you got going on
