Afer Knife Fish Aggression

[Ash_water]

My afer's name is Jacka$$ for a reason. It has only been less than 36 hours since it killed a 4 line pim. However it knows not to mess with my bichirs, eels, or plecos or he is in for a fight

Yeah they are far more aggressive than I thought. But I love the way they swim
Awsm fish

Yes Red Devils are really aggressive and they have the tools to back it up. Do you think a Red Devil Male will be a good match for a Afer Knife pair?

From your description, it sounds like it might be a good match.

Your asking for more trouble with a red devil imo, very unlikely it would be peaceful whoever wins. Although considering my lenticulata pike in that video is considered one of the most aggressive cichlids I doubt a red devil would fair much better.
I would consider a large ripsaw or irwini?
RTC will be 16" and will eat them within 6 months, sell it fast or it will make your mind up for you. What dimensions is your tank btw?

Just get something that massively out sizes them and won't eat them, it might keep em in check

nope i dont think size matters my nearly 8 incher killed a more than foot long silver arowana by always biting him and holding it even when the silver was aggressive enough too .. the afers they are psycho ninja assassins in fish world i think
