hey guys, i have a pair of 22" clown knives and a pair of 8" leopard plecos in a 6x2x2
the tank looks dull and was wondering what i could add into the tank without any of the fish fighting
im thinking on chiclids... oscars, green terrors... any ideas?
 
Id stay away from most cichlids
how about a Gar, Bichirs, Tor, Red Tail Tat (payara fam), Red Hooks, Cichla
 
:iagree:, but I don't think you would have any issues with a GT or Oscar.

My Clown knife is around 12" long, and I have him in with a 15-16" Longnose Gar, 10" Tiger Oscar, and an 11" Venezuela Pike Cichlid. The Clownknife is DEFINATELY low fish on the totem pole and gets abused by these bruisers daily. It is very difficult to get the knife any food at all with these tank mates. My Gar takes thawed Fish, Shrimp and shell fish off of a wooden skewer as to avoid that problem with him.

Be careful choosing tankmates, and good luck!
