Hi guys! I plan to buy an 8" BGK and I want to put him in a community of guppies, mollies, swordtails, clown loaches and corydora. Will this set-up work? 
BGK In A Livebearer Community?

I just upgraded my 8" Clown Knife from my community tank because he ate some swordtails. Also in there were some Clown Loaches and all sizes of Corydoras, which remained untouched.
I would imagine your BGK will happily eat fry, mollies, swordtails and guppies.

The ghost knife will eventually at 1st will eat thier eyes out, and incase the livebearers can fit in the mouth of the bgk, he can gobble them up if detected.
Ok, I get the picture. Quite gory. Anyway, can I mix the BGK with a 4" delhezi and a 5" senegal? Thanks!

That'll work fine.
really depends on the size of tank. with all those fish it already sounds like you'll have or need a rather large tank, and with a bgk, you'll need an even bigger tank. Other than the size problem, the next one will probabbly be the PH levels, most livebearers tend have a higher ph likeness than that of a bgk.
