MY GHOST KNIFE and new tank

HI all ive had my ghosty for about 2 months or so and he is getting big quick so much so that he eating my other fish alive at night he is very HUNGARY lately and i dont want to get rid of him.

i have another tank which i would like to put him in but is not running at the moment and my worry is how should i setup this tank and its cycle quick enough to put him in without killing him and
him eating all my other fish .i have have all the necessary tools for the new tank filter heater ,treated water substrate, ETC.but my main concern is how long to run the tank for......:wondering::wondering:

Any good advice much appreciated

 

Well, if you have some nice filter media from the already running tank with the knife in you could transfer abit of the sponge or what you use into the filter to get things started up. De-chlor the water first.

How big is your second tank? You don't want a knife going into a tiny tank no suitable for it size as you said they do grow fast.

 

My other size tank is abt 40Litre just for temporary.im nt sure what you mean by dechlor the water.cause i have treated water ready for use in a container the other thing is that this filter in the new tank is pretty small compared to my big tank
:nuts:

 

yip i use Seachem prime for treating the water and i have got some bacteria stuff aswell..:vroam:

 

I just googled them cause i also like the fish and they need around 300 litres according to google.com haha but also like a planted tank!

 

You need to make sure the tank is cycled completely as Black Ghost do not have any scales and any small amount of nitrites will kill it very quickly .

 

as Foggy has mentioned, it has not scales, so stressing the bgk will be a bad idea.
and as for the 40L tank, it is not suitable but like you said its just for a day or 2
but then what? where you gonna put him/her after that?
Did you take my suggestion by putting some food for him/her when the light goes out?
Give that a try - mind me asking? how big is ur BGK?

That ghostknife is going to vreet:eating: all your neons and similar sized fish. I know of a ghostknife just a little bigger that finished off a school of 30 neons over a period of two weeks...he hunted down the last neon. you have to decide what kind of fish you want to keep, perhaps some bigger species with the knife instead of another tank. i notice that people will always ask about the ghostknife cause its a bit unusual.

 

cguru:Yip ive got my new tank 40litre running for about 2 days now Nitrites and Ammonia + ph seem fine plus ive put Prime in the water. im wondering is it ok to put my Ghostknife in now. HELP PLZ

 

no, u will get ammonia spike...read up on the nitrogen cycle. The only safe way to add fish now is to dose with somethin like seachem stability for a week...u can then add fish to a new tank ie on day one...has worked for me several times.
