Anyone heard or tried breeding African Brown Knives? I currently have one CK and one ABK. I am starting to grow on them and I am think about adding more knives. I would add an ABK because 2 CK in a 125 would be crazy plus I have a Sliver Aro too. So if I happen to add another ABK and I just so happen to get a pair. Can I expect fry?
 
Maybe. I think ABK arent that bad compared to the mixing of other Knives. How big is the tank though? I actually think you can sex ABK, not so with the other knives.
 
The tank is 125, the CK is about 7in and the ABK is about 5 or 6in. How can I sex them?
 
Hmm, I dont know if mixing them with a CK is a good idea. I would probably do a tank for just ABK. I dont know, at the time it might not be so bad since the sizes are small. About sexing ABK, I dont know. But I heard you can. Just look around the net for info or ask around.
 
From what I can find...breeding is far and few and practically unknown with African Brown Knives. And the only one that says it's been bred in captivity only says that it's extremely hard to breed.
