Advice on Black Ghost & Pictus

[dpatte]

I have my 220 running, but I'm wondering if my black neons (which are mature size) would be at risk, if I added a black ghost knife fish, or a few pictus cats to the tank?

Who has kept these and what size fish did you keep with them without them becoming lunch?

I think the pictus will enjoy the neons for lunch!

Catfish are like goats...like to put everything in their mouths? hehe

I'm thinking that adult black neons are quite a bit bigger than neons, so I'm not sure.

They'll try...and I've seen them eat some pretty big things.  Nature of the beast.  I don't think the black ghost knife is something to worry about.  They tend to have proportionally small mouths.

my zamora's which are only 5-6 " ate my entire school of adult pencilfish which are 2"...and a couple small convicts o_O

black neons are about 1.5" -2" ?

i suggest for u to get something else other than pictus... black ghost should be fine.. but they grow like koi... meaning they grow super fast!.
