GKF with Clown

[bichir84]

Can you keep a clown knife with a ghost knife fish? Ive always heard that you cant keep a clown with another clown when they get older but wasnt sure about GKF with a clown.

I had a BGK with my CK together for about a couple of months. I just ended up moving the BGK to the bigger tank just to spread out my stock. Didn't have a problem with the 2 being together. Just make sure you have a lot of hiding spots so they don't fight for the same spot. Probably best to rearrange the decor too if you're introducing a new Knife. So both Knives can establish new territories.

i have a bgk and clown in my 55 right now. no problems for a month and a half but now the clown seems to want the bgk's spot. there hasnt been any aggression/fights yet, but worried the clown will beat the bgk. i have alot of fake plants and caves in the tank but the clown still wants to be where the bgk is. will be moving the clown out soon tho.
im the process of getting a 120

not a problem only if they are about the same size.

the clown will outgrow the bgk. my clown is almost 8 inched and got him when he was about 5 and is bigger than my bgk now. i noticed my bgk and clown fighting for the same spot even though there are alot of cover/cave.
