Most info I have on these say that while peaceful with other fish they can't eat, they will fight among themselves (at least as they get older): http://www.elmersaquarium.com/10knifefish.htm, http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile66.html.
Another item to consider is that these navigate by a mild electrical impulse, so keeping them with other fish that use the same method of navigation is confusing to them (other knifefish, elephant nose). You can look up knifefish compatibility (and that of elephant nose) on this website: http://www.elmersaquarium.com/000tropfishcareguides.htm

well black ghost knives are blind fish, so as long as they have places to hide in (caves etc,) they should be fine ive never heard of any problems. another good tank mate would be an elephant nose of a similar size
