your knife is not a ck, but an african brown/black knife. it will get about 8", maybe 12" if your really lucky.
Thanks.
I'm going to change my plans for him and give him his own tank instead of putting him in my 180g.

It's not an African Brown Knife (Xenothamus Nigri). It's a Notopterus Notopterus. African Brown knives don't have a dorsal fin. Your's does. It'll get 12"-15" These are one of the more aggressive knives, but some people have had some mellow ones.

True...but I think I read that they rarely ever reach that mark in captivity and most top out around 12" to 15"
Thanks guys 
Do you think he will get on with the fish in my 180 or should i start to make plans for his own tank?

You can test it out in the 180. I hear these guys are the most aggressive out of the Asian species. But I really think that Knife fish are pretty mellow with other fish. I know they can be aggressive with other Knife fish. Just keep an eye on it.
i dont reccomend keeping knives with cichlids, my sisters friend gave me a ck the other day it was about 9-10" it was ok for a day but then it got murdered in the morning by my male rtm, they are too fragile
