What do I feed my Black Ghost Knife?

zephspacer · 07-29-2011, 11:12 AM

Hey I got a new Black ghost knife and i have been feeding it sun dried baby shrimp and it seems to be eating them but is it enough. I have the Tetramin Fish food with three in one food types. It has flakes, really small slow sinking pellets and sun dried baby shrimp. Is this good enough to keep a bgk healthy?

thanks, jim

Get some frozen foods for that baby, they like frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms. Mysis shrimp has a bit more of what it needs. But as stated in your other thread get him a bigger tank.
They can be trained to eat from your fingers. I had one at 14 inches that would let me pet him.

if you get some of this stuff called H20 Life 50/50, it has shrimp and bloodworms mixed in. I've been feeing my whole tank that for months and they're all doing well.
