The Clouded Ghost Knifefish adds a beautiful, ethereal look to my 30-gallon tank. It’s active but not aggressive and blends well with other species. Water parameters stayed stable after a few weeks of setup.

I’ve had this fish for about two months now. It’s very quiet and moves gracefully through the tank. I like how it doesn’t compete for food with my community fish.

The transparency of the fish is stunning. It looks like a living piece of glass. I keep it in a well-maintained tank with soft lighting and it thrives.
