i was wondering if an ABK could be kept with a school of, say, 8 red eye tetras. ive read they ABKs eat small fish, but red eyes get to like 3"-3.5", so i wasnt sure if an ABK would eat them...
Has anyone had experiance with keeping ABKs with red eye tetras and other tetras in the 2.5"-3.5" range?

have a few abk that live with like 40 albino tiger barbs. this is in a 75g. one is 8 inches the other is about 6 inches. the barbs are from 1 to2.5 inches. there are other fish commd with them as well.

african knifes seem to be alot more chill then the bigger,faster growing knifefish imo.

Depending on feeding and personality, it can work. ABK seem to be less predatory of Chitala species. They seem to feed more on worms and crustaceans in the wild.
