Black ghost knife with aceis, yellow labs, and auratus. Think the BGK would be horrified for its life or would he be okay?

No. The mbuna are too aggressive and the tank already has too many fish in it.

Still no. The mbuna would tear it to shreads. Besides, Ghost Knifes need like 100 gallon+ tanks.

Still. The mbuna would tear it to shreds. < Not sure if you missed that part every time.

I agree with Tar. With a few exceptions, it's best to keep mbuna with mbuna.

Has anyone ever tried it though? Looking to hear stories of success/failure; not so much an guess at the result.
