Free Black Ghost Knife Fish

[OCCFan023]

Well I am going to be moving soon and am going to converting all my time/attention towards marine aquariums. I have a Black Ghost who is in great condition and loving life, however I wont be able to care for him anymore. I can give it back to my lfs but I figured I would just put it on here for anyone who was interested (and I would feel alot better knowing he went to a good home)

He is free to anyone who wants him and can describe the tank he will be going in (so I can make sure it is suitable)

All I ask is you pay for shipping (which will be overnight)

any interest just post back!

Oh I'm interested. I lost my guy when I did a promotion, I sold him for a buck. He was about 13-14 inches, and sadly he didn't make the over night shipping trip.

I have a 90 gal and a 125 that he will be housed in if that is large enough for ya?

I've missed having one since then and promise I will not sell yours.

edit: Bag budys are a bad idea when shipping these.

I wish i could get him, but i don't have a big enough tank!*thumbsdow Do you think that you could get a picture of him???

the 125 might do for a while, but they get to around 3 feet long, and will soon not be able to turn around in a 125 gallon.

I know this, and out of all the fish keepers here you know I will provide him a home for long term.

eeehh their real length is closer to 2 ft not 3.

 

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

I always thought it was 3 ft(36 inches) pure.

I believe Pure. He probably has had more experience with fish than all of us. Just look at his signature! lol

Clown knifes get up over 3', black ghosts are one of the smaller knifes.

Well If Pure doesn't snatch this up, I would be interested. How big is the guy now? I am getting a 150gal for my pleco and oscar, I was thinking about adding an electric blue JD, some Blue Acuras, fire mouths, and possibly some blue botias, but I would be willing to move the stock plan around a little. These guys are really interesting fish, my husband oogles at them every time we're in the LFS. LOL I think a BGK would be a fun unique addition to my tank and I would really enjoy having him.

 

[Pure]

yes clowns get the big not BGKs. I am eye balling a 240 that he would be a great addition to.

 

[OCCFan023]

Pure Ill hit ya up with a pm, and Virgo if for some reason pure cant do it I will hit ya up next.

Ill post a picture up in the thread when I can get him to come out... Hes about 6-7 inches right now.

 

[VirgoWolf]

Sounds great, doubt Pure will miss out on this one, but on the odd chance he does, I'll be looking forward to your PM!

Glad to hear he's not tiny, I was worried about keeping him out of the Oscar's mouth, but he's bigger than my Oscar (4" or so as of now), so that works out.

 

[BlackGhost]

The oscar will harrass him a lot its not a good idea to put them together.

 

[VirgoWolf]

Hummm, well I was under the impression that they would be good tankmates (Pure even made a suggestion for them when I was considering stock for this tank). This Oscar is pretty timid as far as I can tell, and he's still pretty small, so I think a BGK would be OK for a while, expecially if he's nearly twice the size of the Oscar and has alot of hiding space (which I plan on having anyway, to give the pleco and possible botias proper territories and comfort zones).
