Breeding black ghost knives
I have recently gotten interested in the BGK. When I'm interested I read
every possible thing I can find, <Great>I have just read your section with the
questions and answers for the people with the BGK (very knowledgeable and
interesting by the way) <Thank You> and I noticed that not many people know
about breeding these wonderful creatures. Well I looked and looked and it seems
these people got it down. They even give tips to show the difference between
males and females. Just thought you would like to read the page in your quest to
help other people. It is very helpful. The site is:
http://blackghostknife.tk/ I am thinking about breeding and this site is
very helpful.
Thanks,

Breeding black ghost knife fish?
Hi. I was wondering if you could help me out on how I can tell the sex of
my black ghost knife fish, and how to get them to breeding.
<It's almost impossible to distinguish male from female in this species.
Captive breeding has been accomplished in Australia, but details are sketchy.
You might try keeping the pair in a very large tank, feeding them only the best
of foods, and then see what happens.... That's about all I can suggest. Best of
luck with this endeavor, and do keep a log so you can write up and publish an
article when you're successful! --Ananda>
Black Ghost Knifefish production?
Word on the internet is that the Black Ghost fish (Apteronotus Albifrons) is being bred in Australia and Malaysia...any information on how its being done?
Thank You,
Richard Davidson
<Very interesting. Do know that other apteronotids have been bred, raised in captivity (for science). Have not heard that this species was being produced commercially. Will be sure and check at the upcoming (May/June) Aquarama show in Singapore re. Bob Fenner>
