so what about this three African knives (Xenomystus nigri) and one Ctenopoma acutirostre i really would have loved a odoe or hujeta but almost impossible to find in my area so let me know what do you guys think?

I don’t know about them with bichirs, I know when I had knifefish they where the weakest fish I’ve ever owned. Maybe you could do a few fire mouth and maybe a few convicts

I know that the bichirs prob wont mess with them Hendre had a group of them with bichirs its the bushfish im worried about and I would like to keep it as a african biotope

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

any other fish that could take the bush fishes place if its to rough for the knives?

 

[Manning99]

If you want it keep it African:
Ctenopoma, Brown knives, African butterly fish, Ropefish, Elephant nose fish.

If location doesn't matter:
Belly crawler pike, Nandus Nandus, Pink tail chaleus, Red tail black shark, Rocket gar.

Mine is fine in a 180 with BGK, Atabapo pike, other polys, Ctenopoma, Clouded archers, ABF and a Black spot eel

ok do you think it would be over stocked? if i did the stock i listed i would love a pike but I kinda wanna keep it african thanks!

 

[Manning99]

Also to note I have never kept Brown knives but the only fish my pike is wary of is the BGK, never had any problems with the Ctenopoma being aggressive with anything but feeders.

I think this seems perfectly stocked to me given good filtration, waterchanges etc:

2X Delhezi
2X ABF
1X Ctenopoma
3X Brown knives
