Growth rate of a black ghost knife

[cmartin]

I fed twice a day when my BGK was smaller - once in the morning and once at night - but only small portions. Now I feed him bloodworm, etc. at night and I just add some flakes and sinking wafers in the morning.

I have Tetras and Corys that spawn fairly regularly in the same tank - especially after a larger WC. That is when Shadow develops a 'rounder' belly than normal - and I reduce the amount I feed him. I have never seen any fry so I assume that he does a pretty thorough job.

I just watch him and if he is more active than usual - looking for food - then I give him a little extra. I think they go through 'growning spurts' just like kids. Sometimes they need a little extra and other times they don't.
