This jet-black fish is a real one-of-a-kind and will add instant appeal to your fishtank.

Ghost knifes (or knives maybe?) can swim forwards, backwards, sideways, upside-down and pretty much any other angle - fascinating to watch. They can grow quite large, up to 30cm if kept in a large tank and are well looked after.

They prefer live foods like bloodworm, but can be trained to eat regular flakes. Ghost knifes like to have a place to hide, but are very active and can be spotted at almost any time of the day.

It is best not to keep too many ghost knifes together, as they will argue if they don't have their own space. However, they will cohabit happily with a wide variety of other peaceful aquarium fish.

Approximate purchase size: 6cm
Size 15

  3. Crazy wonderful fish Review by Junecoo
    Customer Rating

    Like others say, they have to be one of the most fascinating fish you'll see. The only direction they don't swim in so much is forwards! Never had a problem feeding ours, very happy with flakes, frozen worms & it seems to pick around the plants too. (Posted on 6/03/11)

    Would have to be one of the most lovable facinating fish to ever watch reminding me of a puppy. Beleive it or not mine is sharing a 30cm ship with my well loved breeding pair of Krebinsis and has for a long time. (Posted on 10/01/11)

  5. These guys are my favorite fish. Review by Braden Cohen
    Customer Rating

    These guys are my favorite fish. I have just got mine to get out of my hand which is very fun to do. All my friends love to watch my black ghost knife and all want to hand feed him. Mine is very peaceful and has never tried to harm any of my fish. (Posted on 16/07/10)
