Max Size: Black Ghost Knifefish can grow up to 20-24 inches in length, making them a large and impressive fish.
Water Parameters: Black Ghost Knifefish prefer soft to moderately hard water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The temperature should be maintained between 75-82Β°F.
Diet: Black Ghost Knifefish are carnivorous and primarily feed on live or frozen foods. They have a preference for meaty foods such as worms, small fish, shrimp, and other similar protein-rich offerings. They may also accept high-quality pellets or flakes, but live or frozen foods should make up the majority of their diet.
Temperament: Black Ghost Knifefish are generally peaceful but can be territorial and may not tolerate tank mates invading their space. They are nocturnal and prefer to hide during the day, becoming more active and social during the night.
Tank Setup: Provide a spacious aquarium with ample hiding places such as caves, driftwood, and vegetation. Black Ghost Knifefish are sensitive to bright light, so provide subdued lighting or use floating plants to create shaded areas. Ensure the tank has a secure lid as they are excellent jumpers.
Compatibility: Black Ghost Knifefish should be kept with peaceful and non-aggressive tank mates that are too large to be considered prey. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive fish that may harass or damage their delicate finnage.
Behavior: Black Ghost Knifefish are known for their unique and graceful swimming style. They have a long, thin body with a trailing fin that resembles a ghostly silhouette, hence their name. They are primarily nocturnal, using their electric sensory system to navigate and locate food in the dark.
Fun Fact: Black Ghost Knifefish possess an organ called the electrogenic organ, which allows them to produce weak electric fields. They use this ability to navigate and communicate with other fish. Their striking appearance and intriguing behavior make them a popular choice for experienced aquarists seeking a captivating centerpiece fish.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
