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 6

    I bought this little guy to replace another larger one that died. It arrived happy and healthy and although it mainly hides away at the moment, I look forward to it gaining some confidence. (Posted on 23/11/11)

    My beauty has just arrived in the box, after some slow water adjustment my BGK is happy as can be. Such an amusing and funny creature and this only after watching him/her for about an hour!

    Well done LF, well done indeed. (Posted on 15/09/11)

    These little shrimp are fantastic. I initially ordered 10 and some disappeared but the ones that are left are busily eating the black haired algae
