I finally picked up a gorgeous African Ghost Knife for my tank this weekend! How awesome. He's a gorgeous fish with personality characteristics a bit like a little puppy.

Does anyone know anything about either

1) the supposed trick where they juggle or play with tin foil balls?
2) the one where you can train them the eat from your hand?

I obviously want to do this right so any advice from experienced people or good resources would be mush appreciated!

I tried training fish and its not easy, but knifes are VERY good learners and the best fish to train, what size is your tank? I would recommend taking everything slow, if hes new give him at least 1-2 weeks to settle in, look online, there plenty of info on training there

The tank is a 55 gallon... I'll probably end up sharing with a few discus... but yeah, I'll do some research.
