I believe the point was that the bullhead may become an issue, not the knifefish. Xenomystus are the least aggressive notopterid I can think of, I've kept them with decent size tetras and never had a problem.

Depends on the type of Bullhead he has. Bullheads grow anywhere from 8"-12" Catfish are pretty aggressive eaters, so it would be something you want to keep an eye on.
Cool I appreciate everyones help. I was wondering what would be some good hiding places I could make in my tank for my knife fish. I Would like to know what hiding spots your knife fish use and if pictures are possible that would be great. Thanks
I just took a bunch of rocks and put them on top of each other. (You can see in my 60-Gallon pic on the right side, and in the 40-Gallon in the back)
There are plenty of decor that you can find at your LFS that are designed to have caves and hiding places. I have four in my tank right now, plus another decor that some of my slender fishes (yoyo loach, bichir, spiny eel) have entered through the drainage holes on the bottom.
