Black Ghost Knife Fish are one of the most interesting freshwater aquarium fish with their unique behaviour and swimming pattern. Quite suitable for community aquaria, they prefer having several cave-like hiding places.

Water conditions are not critical; a pH about neutral and moderate hardness is fine.

Will eat most foods, but they relish live blackworms.
