black ghost knife.... taming

a bkg would need a tank of at least 6' long and 24" wide height wouldnt matter as long as you kept it covered well . But you would also be able to stock with more fish, so theres an upside lol
 
so what size tank are we talking here? I mean it seems to me like he's very happy and i dont see why he would be "stunted" i could probably set him up with a bigger tank, but not like a 200 gallon like previously mentioned. The biggest i could go is probably the 104.5 gallon tank that i own (dont ask weird ammount of gallonage i know lol) would that be suitable? but there are complications with that as well because that is currently hosting some rather large SW fish


joander, none of these people have even kept Knives, nor do they know what they are talking about... ignore them... every tank I've ever owned has had a knife and i've done nothing but read about them...trust me you are fine....

even if they got 20 inch... i tank thats only 24 wide doesnt give it much room to turn around.
 
from a person who's had several Ghost knives live their full lives...they NEED 200G 24" wide is not enough for a fish that will get over 3' long. it's simply assinine to think that you can force a fish to live in that kind of condition! Take it back if you dont listen to advice. there's no buisness keeping a fish you will kill.

3 feet long???.... show me the ghost that got 3 feet long in captivity and I'll show you the loch ness monster. It's never hapened.
WHy are you locking out these threads by the way?? Because people disagree with you? I guess you are the god of Ghost Knives and Dr. Smith and Foster,and Me, and everyone else are wrong...you sound like one of these freaks that has 3 canister filters running on a 10 gallon tank, does a water change every day, and thinks everyone else is guilty of animal cruelty.:dance2:
 
I close them because of your ignorance. there will be pictures up shortly in the "members photos and tank specs" area Drs Foster Smith site is misinformation on it in many places, this incessant arguing in a topic is pointless and non helpful and since you insist on keeping it up I will close this one too. if you disagree with my decisions please feel free to contact DangerDoll, BlueIZ Rbishop, Neoprodigy or any of the Global moderator staff.
