An interesting fish, very activeThe Black Ghost is nocturnal and therefore shy in nature and sensitive to bright light. For this reason a well planted tank and hiding places should be provided. It grows fairly large therefore it needs a bigger tank. With its striking shape and peculiar swimming habit (it swims by generating wavelike motions in its anal fin which extends along most of the body), this fish makes an interesting addition to the community tank. It is a scaleless fish and is therefore sensitive to many medications and changes in water conditions. Like most scaleless fish, it is prone to external parasitic attack such as WhiteSpot (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis) and care must be taken when treating with copper based medications. Good husbandry and correct water conditions will reduce the chance of disease in these fish. Main Pic: Black Ghost Knife Fish Inset: White Ghost Knife Fish are occasionally available
