The unique Black Ghost Knife is an intelligent, yet generally shy fish. As a Knife Fish, they use a harmless electrical signal to sense their surroundings and find food. Black Ghost Knife Fish can be territorial, so it is best to only keep one per tank. They are best kept with other semi-aggressive predators or large peaceful fish. These fish can be picky eaters and may require live food at first.
