Black Ghost Knife

[SirCastic]

i'm upgrading to a 90 gallon fish tank. I currently have a 55 gallon community tank. Consisting of

1 blue crayfish
3 ghost shrimp
6 mollies (2 black, 2 dalmation, 2 gold)
1 lyretail swordtail
1 red thai crab
3 red platy
5 tiger barb
1 gold barb
1 black tetra
5 giant danios
2 australian rainbows
1 stick catfish
1 upside down catfish
and 2 angelicus botia loaches

My tank runs 100 gallon filtration, heater, aerators. all this going in the 90.

is a 90 enough for all these + the BGK or should i just add more communities?

Thanks!

That stocking needs a lot of work, lots of social fish in anti-social numbers; critters that will eat any fish they catch; critters that need access to dry land; a mixture of fish that crave massive water currents (~20x turnover) and those that are calm water lovers (~6x turnover).

Sorry, no room in the inn, for a ~40cm BGK after the above is sorted out... You need to rehome several species and even then you have no room.

I agree with the above, from experience upside down cats just dont act right unless they're are in a group of 6 or more, they are like corys in that respect. As above, sort out the stock you have first then assess the situation, black knives grow quite massive 20in+. Sort out the Tetras and barbs go 10+ of each species. I'd up the filtration too, you want over triple your tanks capacity! Preferable 5 x or more dependant on species!

Good Luck with it all!
