Posted	Malawi Setup Suitable????
19-09-2006 10:50 by TARTINJOCK	Is a Malwi setup suitable for Ghost knife fish? 1. My tank has hard water and a high PH for the Malawi. 2. If the Ghost is suitable for the water, is it suitable to be in with the Malawi? Cheers

19-09-2006 11:09 by TARTINJOCK	Cheers Tel, How's the Oscars doing, must be of a nice size now? Any Breeding going on?
19-09-2006 11:16 by Malawimad	Whats the perfect parimeter for a knife fish then? whats there temprament like? Always faniced one, would they be ok with discuss?
19-09-2006 11:58 by PaddyD	Black ghost like soft acidis water. Approx 6.5 pH with peaceful tankmates that they cannot eat. They get to about 8" as adults so will snack on small tetra's. They might find discus a bit boisterous but it would be worth a try, I have always kept them in tanks with quite a lot of tannin as they seem to come out more than in brightly lit clear set ups. (they are more or less nocturnal anyway)
19-09-2006 12:53 by Malawimad	I find my discus peacefull paddy, put a britlenose and a hoplo cat at the weekend and the dicus never bother them at all!
20-09-2006 09:04 by PaddyD	Wait untill they are bigger and pair off. But do note that I agree discus are peaceful, but big discus can be boisterous (big and active and dominate the tank) and through their weight around they can make it more difficult for shy fish to come out. And not allow much food to get down to the bottom, but once established I think the 2 species should be ok. Hoplo's are great!
