2nd tanks to small even for one 55usg minimum<there will be war
3rd knifefish not good to be in there if you want to breed,,,
get a much bigger tank mate,,,,quivering/lip locking<fighting>digging and cleaning rocks together is a a sign<mines been doing this for 6months<just over a year old the pair,,,

k i just got started with fish and it has become a great hobby but im not rich lol if i take out spot (my knifefish) and put him in my 40 gal toleave them alone would they mate?? my oher prob is that char and cat (my oscars) get along verry well with spot ,i meen at first there was some squabling but they all have proven to each other they will not take eachothers crap lol.and now they can swim beside eachother and not care and they do not fight at feeding time . i think its all because i give them so much attention i play catch w them and pet them also i hand feed cat and char most the time (spot is still a little timmid around me as he is a middle/bottom dwller )..

sweet thanks , well acctualy that kinda sucks lol was looking forward to the new expirience so how big till they are ready?
ya eventually i plan on getting bigger one but low on funds thish should do for a while shouldent it?? i see pics of ther oscars on sites and they are healthy and in way smaller tanks
if your looking to have some breeding fun,,,,try rehoming the oscars<until you can afford a bigger tank,,,,,then go for some convicts<just add water and watch them multiply
To give you an idea on size, I have a oscar i bought in august 07 at 2 1/2 inches and he is now around 9 inches times that by two and you can see why everyone is saying you need a bigger tank. 90g minimum would be a good bet.
