Description

Product Description

Black Ghost Knives are a fascinating animal that can be a great conversation piece for larger community aquariums. Belonging to the electric fish family, Ghost Knives have sensory organs that they use to detect prey and sense their surroundings. The electrical field is too weak to be harmful and operates similar to a radar. With a unique style of swimming and behavior, they can be a rewarding species to own. Reaching lengths of over 18 inches and a long life span, black ghost knives can become a long term aquatic animal companion.

  • Life expectancy is 10 years.
  • Max size is 18 to 20 inches
