African Brown Knifefish......if you are hell bent on a Knife......they top out around 8-9 inches

i agree, i was thinking of getting one of these a while back because i dont have the space for a bgk

^^^ I agree. If you have Knifefish fever, go with an ABK.

They'll fit nice in your tank. You could even add a few other smaller fish, too.

I'm not sure what you like, but there are a lot of possibilities.

i agree on the abk

African Brown Knives are great. And you could probably get a few of them

i was just about to ask if i could do a different type of knife!
african brown knife fish, are they common?

i have a single bgk living in a 20 gallon tank with the only tank mate being a snail (due to him eating every thing in my other tank) he is about 6"-8" in length right now and does fine in this tank how ever as soon as i have the funds i will be upgrading to about a 100 gallon. So to answer your question you can start out with a little bgk and prolly be good with your 40 for some time, but would be best to upgrade to a bigger tank some day.

They're fairly common and Petsmart usually carries them.

Good luck. I'm sure your LFS could order you one. Keep us informed, i'm interested to hear how it goes.
