I saw a albino clown knife at my lps, I would like to get one but IDK if I should. I have in the tank a tigerfish, 2 H.scombs (payara) and a retic ray. all of my fish are the same size as the knifefish. would the knife pick on the ray or the payaras? the payaras are kinda slow eaters also. please let me know soon, Idk how long they will be at the shop, thank you!
 
cks arent usually aggressive. also what size is your tank?
 
125 but im building a 500g+, tank or pond. I might just wait till its done with it before I get anymore fish. I dont see them around alot so it just got me thinking.
 
I've never considered keeping one with those fish. I'm more concerned with how everyone else in the tank would treat him. CK's will eat anything that will fit in their mouths, but they're pretty shy and reserved. I'm wondering what the tiger fish would do to him, if anything. It's an interesting question, for sure.
 
Go for it. I've seen all of those fish housed together successfully before. I would just make sure to have some hiding spots just to be safe if you do decide to get it.
 
I got him but hes in a different tank, Im waiting for him to get alot larger befor trying it but then agen Im starting to get fedup with the tigerfish. Im thinking it wont take too long, my last knife grew like crazy.
