Default Ghost Knife Fish

Ok.. nothing to do... can i ask how fast Black Ghost Knife Fish can grow ar?

The hub is thinking of keeping them (ahem... dun need to place bets also know who's the caretaker la hor) and I'm wondering if they might com well... or end up as Gar-feed.

But essentially they are still knife fish la.

any inputs?

8" is............... puny.

Maybe i'll just let the hubby try la. the worst case is he feed my gar expensive feeders (he pay!!!) only.

On his list still got spiney eels... He only know Fire eel coz i had that.
I seriously think he underestimate his wife's knowledge on the fishes in general.... **Cracks knuckles**

Any other knife that grows to a good size and is not upside down/have sadist fun to kill for the sake of killing (thou the face is soooo cute)

I might go for the 7-star knife aka clown knife as well la.. that one my vege.... not the hubby's.

Now in the midst of revamping the tank return system since most of the old fishes are gone.. very empty

The remaining oscar already 1/2 floating.. just waiting for it to stop completely before removing it. Dun have the heart to end it prematurely.

I just found out... oscar lifespan is ard 10 yrs thereabouts... this one wif me almost 6 yrs liao after being confined in a puny tank for 3+ yrs resulting in it being stunted.. time really flies.

Yes, I like ghost knife fish - very nice to see them swim. But both of mine died for no reason, after they have grown to about 6 inches.
