I found this link with fry pictures: http://www.gnsaquarium.com.au/html/bgk.html jan 2008-05-03 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=i-just-bred-black-ghost-knifes#5 i found that link over a year a go but i cant find a name or email adress for the person who has ment to of bred them. you would think they would want to tell people or atlest mention it ? i have not been able to contact to confirm they have bred bgks anonymous 2008-05-03 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=i-just-bred-black-ghost-knifes#6 I personally think that people should be more open for sharing their experiences and ways of how to breed/keep some species. We aren’t at war, we aren’t competitors and so we should be open to each other. Of course I respect everyone’s privacy and feelings. For example, I have another site where am publishing various ideas and exact experiences/tips on topics which other people sell for money. But it’s up to everyone... In my opinion, the questions isn’t "if" but "when" anyone who is willing to share experiences for free finds out ways of breeding currently non-breeding species (in captivity). We must do nothing but wait until that point . Or we can try it on our own. jan 2008-05-03 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=i-just-bred-black-ghost-knifes#7 hi pete here they were my photos of the black ghost knives.... I worked at gnsaquarium 4 about 6yrs. in qld.. there are 3 or 4 others in qld that bred them about or just after that time.... really cool and not to mention mind blowing.... one of mother natures true masterpieces.... how the hell they evolved that way was pure genious..... a truly (beautiful fish) freak of a fish.... congrats shane... hope u managed to raise heaps... cheers pete pandapete 2010-12-01
