What does a pregnant black ghost knife fish look like and what are the requiredments to take care of one?
Linchimes52
The Black ghost knife fish (Apteronotus albifrons) has never been bred in captivity. They are known to be egg layers so they can not get pregnant. Growing very large, over 18 inches and comming from fast flowing tropical waters (about 75F) they are not easy to keep and not recommended for beginners. They also have an electical ability so may give a handler a mild electric shock. My advice is for you to look for something else to keep until you have considerable experience and are successful at keeping other easier species tropical fish.

You have 2 black ghost knife fishes and think one is pregnant what care is required?
Your fish can not be pregnant so don't panic. They are egg layers so their eggs are fertilised and the young hatch out in the water not in the fish. Black Ghost Knife Fish (Apteronotus albifrons) grow to over 20 inches long and need a very large aquarium (at least 6ftx2ftx2ft) and are extremely hard to breed so the chances of you manageing it with your lack of knowledge (of the species) are very unlikely.
