Okay, so today I'm more than likely going to pick up a black ghost knife fish! 
They're about 3" at the moment, I have a 55gallon tank and yes, I know that it's too small for the BGK, however later this summer I'm getting a 180gallon tank for my dad's office, he likes the odd ball fish and he's already got a 75gallon African cichlid tank there. Now, my question is first off, how quickly do BGKs grow? My manager at the LPS I work at has one and his has only grown about 2.5-3" in the past 3-4 months, is this a normal growth rate? Secondly, I've been doing some research and I've found that they eat pellets, flakes and live foods. I assume frozen food would be alright aswell? But would sinking shrimp pellets be good for them?
Any other information I could get on these wonderful little guys would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
