It is so named for its knife-shaped body, black coloration, and supposed spiritual qualities that it posesses, according to the folklore of some indigenous tribespeople of the Amazon. This fish swims by use of undulating movement of its very long anal fin and is able to swim in reverse as easily as swimming forward. It is a nocturnal predator and perceives its surroundings and prey by producing an extremely weak electrical pulse, which cannot be felt by other animals that do not produce this pulse.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #131313;\" class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #131313;\"\u003eBrown Ghost Knifefish \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e requires an aquarium with plenty of cover such as plants, driftwood, rock formations, or various forms of plastic or glass tubing. A sandy substrate and floating plants are also optimal. It is a relatively peaceful species with other fish and invertebrates too large to be considered prey, but it is typically very intolerant of its own kind and other electricity-producing fish in the confines of an aquarium.
