Clown Knife and Cichlids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
with all those? min i'd say 200g..
don't take only my advise though.. you have a lot of aggression packed in a tank there.
mainly JD and GT.

possibly a clown knife, i'm not sure how the other fish would handle, but i saw a clown knife with a red devil (i think), an oscar, jd (half dead), and black leopard eel in a 130 at the lfs... the fish i think was a red devil was a mean fish too, he was killin everything.
 
lol my JDs a girl and she is the least aggro fish iv ever owned if attacked she runs and eventually fights back if it turns to bulling and kicks ass but i have guppies that are more aggesive
 
I would say the clown knife will eventually eat your JD and convicts, especially females but you might get lucky
 
depends on the individual personality of your fish. i have a CK in with my tank, and i have no issues. however, most of my fish are rather mild tempered, and dont get into many scuffles.
 
I'd get a bigger clown knife to be safe. Make sure the clown knife is bigger than the cichlids.
 
Won't work unless your cichlids are really really docile-either they will get eaten or the CK will just be a big target for your cichlds-I had a 18 incher with a 7 inch RD and 6 inch Jag-and though the cichlids respected the CK for it's size they still bit the heck out of him my CK always had bite marks and became extremely skittish-either the JD or GT may do that to your CK and say bye bye to your smaller cichlids.
