    Hello all! I am slowly stocking my 150 gallon tank and I was wondering if a BGK would be detrimental to the health of my other fish. I currently have six 1.5-2" clown loaches, and four angelfish. I will be adding 3-4 ropefish, and 1-2 bichirs, and maybe 1-2 pearl gouramis. My question is...

    Black Ghost Knife Male or Female

    Black Ghost Knife Is this one in the pic and video at the end a male or female? The new male has a longer snout and more of a horse looking head! Not as long as a dragon knife but longer than the other ghost.

    Ideas for tank-stocking!

    We currently have a 60g with 2 baby ropefish, 2 adult-sized ropefish, a baby black knife, 2 pearl-gourami and 2 plecos. Will need to eventually relocate the BGK. In the meantime, we were wanting to add some color to our tank and are looking for ideas!

    Can anyone recommend a White Spot treatment that doesn't contain dye

    BGK Compatibility

    I purchased an elephant nose from my lfs yesterday, the only problem I have with him is the fact that it won't eat its blood worms, but that is beyond the point (though I would be open to suggestions). I plan on purchasing a BGK later this year. I have a 8' x 2' x 2' 200 gallon aquarium.
