2 clown knifes together?

[JeffC]

Can 2 clown knifes be kept in the same aquarium??? I have a 6" now and the lfs has some 4" ones fairly cheap. If I got to get a big aquarium, thought it would be cool to have 2 of them swimming around in there. What are all your thoughts?

i have 2 clowns and a black ghost knife in 1 tank. my 12" does chase the 5" one around from time to time, but never bites him.

I would love to have this work out too..but nervous, that is so unique Rally to see picture of them together.. are they still together? How long were they together?? Very interesting and shows things can be done.. i quess as long as it is a big enough tank makes a big difference.. Beautiful CK Rally..

They were together for over a year and they are now seperate. I sold the smaller one because he wasn't as aggressive at feeding time. He still ate enough, but the other was growing faster.

I can see that..when you have a big eater CK everyone else is lucky if they get much..thats what i love about them.. not shy!! haha
