What are the maximum sizes for a BGK and a african brown knife? And do you guys think one of they will be fine in a tank with a needle nose gar, and two senegal birchirs?
 
depends on the tank size, if you keep a GK in something like a 25 Gal. itl only get like 6-7 inches
 
ive heard they work well if it doesent get in the bgks way, so a bigger tank woulde be better. your not supposed to keep to knifes together but africans are pretty easy going. just as long as your not trying to keep a clown knife with it. that woulde end badly!
 
BGK will get anywhere between 18" to 24" and a ABK will average 8" but has been reported to reach 12"

BGK are relatively territorial and a 75g will probably be good for one or the other, IMO.
 
i think your good.
