I have a Black Ghost Knife with Clown Loaches and there is no problem.
I don't know about the Acara though I have never owned one.

Thanks! I haven't owned a blue acara either, but I just want a blue fish in my tank for variety. So far, I have one gold severum (yellow), one blood red parrot (orange-red), one leopard ctenopoma (brown and black), one fire eel (red, blown and black), 3 tinfoil bars (silver) and 5 loaches (well, we all know what color they are on the loach forums
). I just thought a jet black fish and a blue fish would finish my collection off.
How big is the tank? Black ghost knife is fine and maybe the acara but really depends on tank size.
my clown loaches and blue acara get along fine, but the blue acara i have isnt aggressive at all.

They are together in a 180 gallon. Should I expect trouble in the future with my mix?
As long as the acara has adequate territorial boundaries, like most cichlids, they leave their tankmates alone. A 180g isn't that bad for both acara and loaches living together. No problem with BGK. You just have to make sure the loaches are adequately sized enough not to end up being eaten by their tankmates.
