I got mine for 20 dollars but u need a big tank the can get up to 20 in.dont put really small fish in there with it.

 

[swimmy103]

oh ok, so it would be no good in my 20 gallon right?

No, a ghost knife would be far, far too big for a 20g.

Props to psgill00 for guessing the fish correctly based on that very limited info though!

Black Ghost Knife........ sniff!!
I had a black ghost knife once...he died not too long ago. He was an awesome fish!! I bought him for 20 bucks from petsmart. If you read online, it will tell you that black ghost knife are scared of the light (it hurts their eyes). My ghost would come out during the daytime, sniff my hand when I put my hand in the tanka day to , and flit around for me all day long. Sadly, he is no more. I lost him due to an ich outbreak that I didn't catch in time. I would highly recommend buying one, but not with a 20G tank. I had mine in a 29 G tank, and it was too small a tank. The recommended size is a minimum of 55G. Anyways, I hope you enjoy your ghost if you get one!! I most certainly enjoyed mine!

I absolutely love my black ghost knife. I had a piece of PVC cut for hima nd I buried it so he has his own little cave, but most of the time he spends sitting in the current of the overflow. I always worry that fish will have a hard time swimming through it, but he thinks it's the place to be. He is also active day and night. I would recommend them to anyone with a big tank. Awesome fish!
