I might be getting a 125 for my clown knife and was wondering what else i could put in with him?

Most CKs are pretty mellow and will get along fine with most fish that aren't too aggressive and won't fit in their mouths.

Gold clown knifes are beautiful. Here's a pic of mine for reference (someone asked what it looked like). Good luck with it! I'd suggest an aro. They get large enought to not be eaten and they like topwater.

front and back half lol

my 125g stock (may seem a bit over popuated, but things are working out fine) most important is the filtering though.

1x silver ck 1x gold ck both about 12 in.
2 x sailfin plecos 5 in ea.
1x synodotis feathfin cat 6 in.
3x tinfoil barbs 3 in ea.

The Clown knife is a pretty mellow fish, but can be a little territorial (something the syn cat found out pretty fast lol) but as far as tank mates go; i found that silver dollars/large angels/tinfoils and jack dempseys work pretty nice. Plecos/ smaler catfish/ bichers (considering they're about half the size of the knife or larger. i've seen them go well with oscars, but in a 125 that's pushing it a little.
