Couldn't pass these up for a second. The Ghost Knife is pushing 15", and the bucket is 5g for reference.

I can't wait to see him in the tank!

Tanks Master · 07-20-2008, 01:28 AM

WOW! Nice Knife!

TwoTankAmin · 07-20-2008, 06:54 AM

Its pics like this which make me regret having all smaller tanks.

Mmmmm . . . great looking knife! Nice and thick . . . I agree, it'll look great in a tank!

Nice pickups!

ChilDawg · 07-20-2008, 10:28 AM

What are those other ones?

Nice looking fish, Rally. That knife fish looks great.

wesleydnunder · 07-20-2008, 06:45 PM

Beautiful GK! The modestas look really nice, too.

Thanks everyone

. I had an empty 90g bow front just begging for some water and this was a perfect reason. I used pool filter sand as substrate and a DIY wet/dry for the filter. I'm excited I got to give this fish a good home. Now, if I could figure out a way to make the knife come out of hiding a bit more...... lol.

thats easy, Get a long Clear PVC pipe big enough for it
put it infront where you can see it it fools their radar

That has been my plan. I still want to get it out in the open. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was lol.

They look like blue botias, Yasuhikotakia modesta, sometimes called red tailed botia. Very cool loaches.

How long does that typically take? and is 80 degrees good enough?

80 is a tad high... 75-78 usually... Depends on the knife really... Some take longer then others..

Rallysman · 07-23-2008, 06:35 PM

I added Pimafix to help a messed up loach fin, and the Knife came out! I hope it's not irritating him, but it was a good photo op.

Tanks Master · 07-23-2008, 08:55 PM

make sure your medication is ment for scaleless fish... otherwise it will kill it. your knife appears to be female if you care to know that

Trixie · 07-23-2008, 09:29 PM

How do you tell male from female knife fish?
