Black Ghost Knife Fish

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 05:18 PM PDT

Black Ghost Knife Fish (Apteronotus albifrons) is also called as BGK and its a nocturnal fish that means it likes to roam at night time. The ghost knifefishes are a family, Apteronotidae, of ray-finned fishes in the order Gymnotiformes. These nocturnal fish have small eyes. BGK uses a high frequency tone-type (wave-type) electric organ discharge (EOD) to communicate. Many Apteronotids are aggressive predators of small aquatic insect larvae and fishes, though there are also piscivorous and planktivorous species.

It will grow to a maximum length of 25 inches (60 centimeters, 2 foot). It does not have scales. They are nocturnal, but they are weakly electric fish and use an electric organ and receptors distributed over the length of their body in order to locate insect larvae. They should be provided with a shelter (e.g. plastic tube, wood with hole) in which to hide. They will eat smaller fish in the tank and are intolerant of conspecifics. Attach a moonlight in aquarium to monitor them at night time.

There are also brown ghost knife fish.

I brought a black ghost knife fish. Quick info: It comes out at night (when aquarium is dark) and hides all the day in a wood or whatever it can find to hide. If provided aquarium moonlight it comes out as well. Haven’t seen em’ eating anything yet. Its a mysterious shy fish. I will post more info as I observe it more.

DIY Aquarium Moonlight

DIY aquarium moonlights videos

Moonlight is blue. Is moonlight really blue? When we talk about aquarium moonlight, its blue. Aquarium Blue light is not for visibility in most cases but its for for some special cases. Consider aquarium blue light if you want to enjoy your aquarium at night time. There are some fish which come out of their hiding places in the night time and only if the aquarium is dark. These fish are called as Nocturnal Fish. Nocturnal Fish react to aquarium blue light. They seem to feel it okay to come out of their hiding place in blue lights. I have got Black Ghost Knife Fish and that fish is shy. My BGK fish hides all the day time in wood hole. I brought a submersible blue light and turned it on in the night and BGK fish came out and started moving in the aquarium. My BGK is not adult and more shy.

Back to the aquarium moonlights. If you want to observe nocturnal fish species or want to lit aquarium in night time then get some kind of moonlight for aquarium or DIY (Do it yourself). Hobby becomes more interesting when there is DIY involved. Blue light in aquarium at night time casts a mysterious and ghostly effect. Following videos will show you how to do moonlight for your aquarium. But mind it that there are types of aquarium moonlight.
