Aren't they similar to the black ghost knife???

I'm not sure might have to ask someone with more knowledge of the two fish. It was just a suggestion hope you find the perfect fish.

BGK's do the same thing, use pulse to get around, very nocturnal fish, poor eye sight, I'm pretty sure they r from the same family if they have similar bodies to them

Bala Sharks or Silver Dollars. But from my experience Bala Sharks wouldn't do well in a community tank. I had 3 with a rainbow shark and they almost killed it. But I've heard of people having their balas do well with other fish... I think a school of Silver Dollars would look really cool once they got bigger but I don't know how well they do with other fish. Btw they are both schooling fish.

Vanimal? Phillies fan? Lol i actually have 2 silver dollars right now, bout 6-7 inches each, they r nice but I find them kind of boring, I dunno, might just be me lol

 

[vanimal]

Oh cool I've never had them

 

[DanS180]

Oh cool I've never had them

Yeah they can be a lil jittery from time to time but overall a pretty cool fish, picky eaters from what I've learned over time

 

[vanimal]

Oh I liked them because they kinda look like red bellied Piranha... lol

 

[DanS180]

Yeah they are very similar to them, obviously just not aggressive like them lol

 

[vanimal]

What did you feed yours and how many should be kept together?

Its kind of up to you on how many u wanna have together but they are a schooling fish, I found mine to eat bloodworms more than anything else

 

[vanimal]

Yeah piranhas school too haha. What is their Max size? Like 7 inches??

 

[DanS180]

Somewhere around there, not much bigger

 

[vanimal]

Could you ever get them to eat live minnows like a pacu?

I know I'm not a mod, but vanimal maybe you should start your own thread to get answers to your questions so the OP here can get the on topic answers he needs on his thread

 

[vanimal]

[DanS180]
