Question

A Ghost Knife Fish

Answer 1

That is a huge fish. You need no less than a 55 gallon if you want more than just the ghost knife. They get up to 24 inches when fully grown.

Answer 2

Considering the length of these fish get to be about 20 inches...The Minimum would be 100 Gallons would be the right amount for a adult Ghost Knife Fish.

Im sure you could raise one that has not got reach adulthood in a smaller tank (50 Gallon or more), but would need to upgrade as it reached adulthood.  Ya need a cave for it and lots of cover.  I just dont see a point on sinking money in a 50 Gallon, when you would have upgrade within a year or so...to a 100 Gallon anyway.

My Aunt had a Black Ghost back in the 70s...her tank size was 125 Gallon and had a rock cave in it as well as rock background.  This fish lived for about 8 years.

Best of Luck!

Answer 3

You need at least a 40 gallon for an adult Black ghost. Remeber to keep only 1 adult per tank.

If you are getting a small black ghost, you can house it in a 15 gallon temporarily. black ghosts grow quickly! they can get upto 20 inches in aquaria
