| Right i was at my LFS today and while i was browsing what they had when suddenly, something odd looking caught my eye - they were called Ghost fish and some fancy name followed...dokhojhgplv something or other.
I shouldnt do this as I am getting impatient and want to set my tank up straight away - and of course a million and one fish I want to keep.
I am wondering can anyone give me further details of these fish or pics? or am i talking a load of jibberish | |

| Ah yes! The dokhojhgplv fish, I know it well. No you're not talking gibberish at all!! :lol: Was this it?  If it was, apparently they grow big - about 20" and give off an electric charge too. | |

| I love these - the Black Ghost Knifefish. They're the No. 1 fish on my wishlist as I find them quite fascinating. Alas, they require a four foot tank minimum and careful selection of tankmates.  | |

| still gets to a fairly decent sizt though - about 40-50cm and they need a 4ft tank, so you need to start planning for a big tank GD! |

| Get a nice 450L one  It's considered more humane for the fish and you will NEVER have any problems | |
