Black Ghost Knife Fish Apteronotus Albifrons 10cm

Overview: The Black Ghost Knife Fish, known for its striking appearance and graceful movement, is a unique and intriguing freshwater species. With its sleek black body and elongated shape, it stands out as a captivating addition to any aquarium.

Origin: Originating from South America, particularly the Amazon River basin and its tributaries, this nocturnal species thrives in slow-moving, heavily vegetated waters.

Feeding: These fish are carnivorous and prefer live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small insects. They may also accept high-quality pellets or flakes, but a varied diet is essential for their health.

Tank Mates: Due to their peaceful nature, Black Ghost Knife Fish usually coexist well with non-aggressive tank mates like peaceful cichlids, tetras, catfish, and other similarly sized, non-territorial species. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping fish.

Aggression: Typically shy and non-aggressive, they are more likely to hide when stressed or threatened rather than display aggression. However, they may become territorial if space is limited or if they feel threatened.

Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced. While they are not overly demanding in terms of water parameters, their shy nature and specific dietary needs require a bit of experience to ensure their well-being.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 75-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water
