Where Can I Get A Brown Ghost Knife?

[Nick-H]

One such as this: http/www.segrestfarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.productDetail&productID=9691&KNIFE-GHOST-BROWN-SML&Apteronotus-leptorhynchus.html
Theyre supposed to be just like the BGK except brown and alot smaller. I need the BrGK instead of the BGK because my tank is only 45gal, so anyone know where I can get one?
And while we are at it, does anyone know of any other cool knifes in the 8-12 inch range?

Best bet is to have a lfs or pet store, special order one for you.

Where about are you?

Im in Matthews/Charlotte area NC. There are a number of pet stores in my area, im not sure if they could order something like that though. Ive checked some distributors online like sun pet, who have it in their catalog but not in stock, and segrest farms, who also has it in their catalog, but wont say if its in stock. Also a few online direct fish sites have it aswell but its also "out of stock". So is there anywhere else I might have luck?

I have two I'm selling but unfortunately too far away, much too far away.

Well, you could at least tell me where you got them....

Seagrest is wholesale only. You won't know if your local stores can get them unless you ask.

Yes I know that, but I can get one from them through my local stores, if they have them in stock.....

By the way, I have heard various things on feeding these fish. Right now Im thinking Im going to feed it ghost shrimp and it might munch on some of the feeder minnows already there. I think that would be better as opposed to frozen foods/etc. So anyone know more about that?

Dont feed any sort of feeder fish. Period.

My LFS gets these guys in periodically. Very neat, yet shy.

I've never seen one big enough for ghost shrimp or minnows. Feed them frozen brine, frozen bloodworms and live black worms. Some will eventually take pellets as well.

I'm actually trying to get rid of my six inch Knife, but to far away. He takes pellets just fine. Wish I could be more help! Good luck!
