I just realized that I haven’t let you know how the move of my two new Black Ghost Knives, Blake and Devin, into my big tank went!
So here’s what I did to prepare:
I did a big water change in the 55gal, like 25% or more. I also removed about half the water in the 10gal (where the [...]

The BGK Move

BGK news
My two new Black Ghost Knife fish, Blake and Devin, are still fighting. Some of the fights are getting pretty nasty. I haven’t seen any serious damage, but there are ripped fins, which I would prefer not to see. Last night they spent most of the night fighting. They will chase each other (actually Devin [...]

More BGK’s!
I got two more Black Ghost Knife fish this weekend, which is the start of my hopeful breeding program. I called around and found a store that had 10 or 15 of them. Most places only have one or two, so that was a really big deal. I had to drive an hour and a half, [...]

finally in agreement
Cole (my black ghost knife) and I finally have a routine down for his feeding time. I feed him cubed bloodworms via tongs to his cave. It used to be that he would freak out when I would put the cube into his cave, and he would be so scared that he would refuse to eat.
But [...]

Cole feeding update
Cole and I have finally gotten a good feeding routine down.
I’ve taken out the smaller cave. That seems to have helped. Now most of the time he stays in the floating log, but I have to move the floating log to get to the cave, so he knows he’s getting fed, so I don’t mind. It takes [...]

about this and that…
Just some things that are one my mind, but don’t deserve there own post:
I bred my Dragon Cave adults this weekend. I got two eggs! Well really three, but the third was a purple that I abandoned. I kept a Grey and a White. I got a white last week as well, but it was male (which I [...]

No luck, AKA: Cole’s still single….
So I didn’t get my female Black Ghost Knife. In fact the fish store didn’t even have a BGK. It seems they ordered a BGK, but they got sent a African (black) Knife. Which is somewhat similar, but not the same fish. I can’t believe that they could order one thing and get sent another! They seemed [...]

I’m so EXCITED!!!!!
I just got a call from my fish store that they got a Black Ghost knife in! They don’t know how to sex them, so I’ll have to go there to check, but if it’s female I’ll be taking her home! Knowing this has made the last hour of work seem really long. It will be [...]

Fish Supplies Update
I just realized that I didn’t update you on how my fish supplies are working!
I told you that one of my filters was making a weird noise and that I called Foster & Smith to get a replacement. That was on a Saturday. I got the replacement on the next TUESDAY! I was so surprised! The return label, [...]

What a DAY!
My day has been busy! Well by my standards anyway…
Last post I said that someone (my mother actually) was going to help me move the fish tank. So mom stays here when she is in town on buisness, so this morning started off slow, we watched a move, ate breakfast…
But then about 10am we decided we had to get [...]

Yet Another Fish Post
I didn’t move my tank last night. I have someone coming over to help me tonight or tomorrow. I think it will be much easier with two people. Even if the other person just makes sure I’m not tipping the tank as I move it. I won’t have to empty it completely. I just need [...]

More Fish Stuff
An update to yesterday’s post about the stuff I ordered for my 55gal fish tank:
I was so excited to get everything set up. But… it didn’t happen like that. The new filters that I got don’t fit in the space I have behind the tank. They are like 1″-2″ too big. That means in order [...]
