 | I got a BGK! |
fishnewbie  Big Fish Posts: 349 Kudos: 619 Votes: 319 Registered: 01-Apr-2004   | Hey I finally got my Black Ghost knife today. Only $14! Now my stock list in my 90 gallon includes: 1 BGK 2 rams 7 zebra danios 5 congo tetras 1 BN pleco The BGK seems to be acting strange though. It keeps moving back and forth in its ghost house. It wont sit still! Could anyone help me out please? Maybe its the position that I have the gost house? Gracias por la informacion.

They're prices seem to be on the rise for some reason, at least around here. Anyway, yeah, that's normal BGK behavior. They'll either be doing that or just laying down, whatever suits them.  -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |

| fishnewbie Big Fish Posts: 349 Kudos: 619 Votes: 319 Registered: 01-Apr-2004 | Yeah, I'd say it's 4 inches. I like to get fish small, so I can watch them grow. My congo tetras were only $3.50 each! Last edited by fishnewbie at 13-Nov-2004 21:13 |

Shannen Banned Posts: 1160 Kudos: 1686 Votes: 98 Registered: 17-Feb-2004 | Congrats! IMO they are one of the most interesting shishies. Yes that is normal for them, if they are not moving they are normally sleeping on their sides. Mine even sleeps on his back sometimes.  BTW do not be suprised if some of your tetras go missing from time to time. |

| fishnewbie Big Fish Posts: 349 Kudos: 619 Votes: 319 Registered: 01-Apr-2004 | I put them in my 10 gallon with 3 others.  Hate to say it but... I wouldn't mind if he ate the danios. They are pigs and annoy my other fish. Last edited by fishnewbie at 24-Nov-2004 16:15 |
