Your knife will fit in the tank just fine, it's the lima that will need a bigger tank.

African knife's are lovely. I keep one with hoplo catfish, chocolate cichlid. severum, rainbow cichlids, Millenium rainbowfish etc. He is a happy fellow. I had issues with a Sajica and firemouth bothering a little but I gave them away. They are not very tough so be prepared to remove fish that start trouble. I find no one pays him much attention except those particular cichlids that were awful.

Is your electric blue in the same tank?

 

[Loves severums]

yeah but he won't pick on him.

they also can be kept in groups

Long term? What sort of stocking levels would you reccomend for a 75 gallon?

Ahem...sorry for the thread hijacking.

after i up my ck and gg to a bigger tank. i going to do an african themed tank the stock i plan to keep are all good exaples of tank mates for a brown knife. here gos, 1 brown knife,1 osso knife,10 congo tetras, 2 african butterfly fish, 2 african leaf fish,5 upside down cats or glass cats. all of these would make good tank mates for your brown knife+
