Hello! i am wondering what are good tankmates for a Black Ghost Knife and a Elephant Nosed Knife in a 75 Gallon, i believe a 75 Gallon is a nice size for a few knives and it is the biggest size i can get, so can anyone give me suggestions for tankmates in a 75 gallon? i was wondering if any Synodontis catfish, talking catfish, and a pictus catfish are compatible with BGK and ENK, and i want to know which medium sized fish are compatible with BGK and ENK, thanks!
 
do you know why it's bad? i'd like to know, thanks!
they both navigate and detect prey with electric pulses, kind of like sonar. when 2 different electric fish are in a tank the pulses interfere with one another. they both tend to stress out because they cannot use their electric senses to their full potential or it might cause them pain. as for tankmates try angelfish or peaceful gourami species, you need something that won't pick on the elephant nose.
