A better pic of the new whiptail and my zigzag eel with just his head out the sand

That is one awesome collection in that tank!!! Love it.
You do know that the black ghost knife you have there can get up to 30inches though, right? He'll out grow your tank.
I have a BGK with a couple eclipse catfish. Does your knife play with your cats? Mine swims backwards and smacks them in the face with his tail!
The catfish do their best to ignore him. Haha

I dunno whether to think he is playing with them... or attacking them. lol. Maybe he just can't control his huge bulk
.Cool cool fish, I am gonna get an African Brown knife when I only have big fish in my 55.

I always hand-feed my BGK! He loves beef heart. but he tends to prefer to stay in his little wood hollow surrounded by plants. I think the light might bother him. I've been trying to get more top cover for the derp, but the other fish keep eating it. I can't even keep duckweed growing in there!
And depending on the temperament, bgk's are more peaceful than the browns. One of my good friends had one and had to return it since it ran his other fish ragged.

Thing is, those things need a 125 gallon tank when fully grown. That and the fact that I am thirteen, a 125 gallon isn't really an option.I always hand-feed my BGK! He loves beef heart.

You mean your parents won't let you flood the house? Lame.
I am much too old to still be living with my parents, but college life is just too expensive.
So instead of moving out, I cleaned out the garage and put in a 120 gallon tank. Though after checking the dimensions myself, it's actually 125. But what's 5 gallons in the scheme of things?My BGK Haku looks tiny in there right now, but he will be a lake monster in no time!

You got a turtle in there?!?! I have never heard of turtles being successfully kept with fish...

He's pretty cool-looking. What type of turtle is he? Some sort of soft-shelled breed?
