Is the Rope Fish getting close to the BGK's hiding spot or is the BGK going after the Rope Fish?
This too. A 6" Rope Fish looks like a big worm to a 6" BGK.

So D. Wolf is probably correct that the BGK is assuming the Rope Fish is a prey item. A 6" Rope Fish is pretty thin and a 6" BGK can easily see it as food. I would separate them. Put one of them in a spare tank (probably the BGK) and let the Rope Fish get some girth on it. Rearrange the tank and reintroduce the BGK back into the tank.
Its not really the best combination as small mbunas will probably be eaten during nights.. It also can happen bgk will try to eat their eyes (there were many keepers who said bgk ate eyes of corydoras fishes.. About crayfish-there can be damage from both to one another but i cant say anything because i never saw them together in tank..

the rope fish probably just looks like a worm. that small of a knife isn't really aggressive.
I hope the mbunas don't bite the knife. they easily succumb to attacks and stress.
knife needs carnivore diet, and mbuna not so much.
Another option is to divide the tank with rope and knife.
[please research fish beforehand]
