Apteronotus White-Ghost Knifefish

Apteronotus albifrons white-form — known commercially as the White Ghost Knifefish — refers to leucistic or naturally pale morph Black Ghost specimens selectively bred or occasionally found in trade. Care requirements are identical to the standard Black Ghost: wave-type electric organ discharge, highly sensitive to water quality, strictly nocturnal, and requiring PVC tube hides large enough to fully enter. The white coloration makes it stand out dramatically in a dark-substrate setup. It remains peaceful toward dissimilar fish but must not be kept with other knifefish. Requires pristine, well-oxygenated, slightly acidic water.
