I moved my ghost knife about 1 week ago into my 55 gallon tank and I do have a tube in there but he has not found it yet. I feed him in the morning after the light is on and at night after I turn the light out. Usually what I do is just drop the Brine Shrimp or Blood Worms in the tank as close to him as I can and hope for the best. Sometimes I don't see him eat so I put more food in and then my other fish are over fed. Should I just feed him twice a day and hope he is eating or does anyone know any tricks they have tried. As soon as he moves into the tube I will just put the food into there but I don't want him to go hungry. Please help!

I've never tried to forcefeed a fish, but it sounds like you're doing the right thing. You may want to try feeding the other fish you have in the tank first, so they pig out on the flake/pellets and will leave the frozen food alone. Once they're done eating, you can drop the frozen in and turn the light of for a few minutes. Ghost knives are very shy, until they get bigger.
