Question
I have a 75gal. African Cichlid tank that runs a PH 7.4 to 7.8 good water conditions, temp. of 75. I'm really wanting to see if I can't get a Black Ghost Knife fish to survive in these water conditions. what do you think good, or bad idea? Can I make this work?

Answer
Hi Cork,
 I wouldn't do it.  I suspect that if the ghost fish is small, the cichlids will kill it.  If the ghost is large, it will eat the cichlids.
It isn't a good mix in my opinion.
