My current tank is:

1 baby black ghost knife - 4 or 5"
2 pictus cats - one 4" one 5"
one clown pleco - 5"
7 tiger barbs - all under 1 1/2"

Does anyone have any experience with keeping tiger barbs with Black ghost knifes... they follow his white tip around alot... i haven't seen them snap at him yet but if it came down to it I could move the tigers

are the tiger barbs a threat to the young knife fish?
 
Hello, I´m Edgar, I think there will be no problem whith your BG if it has a hidding place, they are nocturnal and avoid bright light. I think your barbs could bite its tiny tail just if your fish is exposed or your barbs are not well feed three times a day. Remember that BG´s prefer live or frozzen live food (Daphnia, Artemia, Bloodworms). Good look.
