Hi Everyone
I have the following fish, can anyone tell me if they will be good tankmates in the long run

2 x Bala Sharks
1 x Clown Knife
1 x BGK
1 x PLeco
2 x Synodontis Catfish
2 x Siamese Flying Foxes
1 x Moonlight Gourami
1 x Golden Gourami
2 x Coolie Loaches
2 x Clown Loaches

All my fish are fairly small still, my Clown Knife does enjoy the tertras I buy for him on occasion though.

Please advise, I dont wanna lose any fish due to inexperience :confused:

Thanks
 
i think the kife will eventually consume or harass them to death eventually... but maybe u cud keep em that way for quite a while.. at least until the knife gets bigger and meaner=/

not sure about the cat tho, they might also consume the entire tank...=/

keep in mind the growth rates and the nature of them fishes.:)
 
Thanks man,

I am already planning to get rid of some of them in order to create some space for my Knives

Like in giving some of my mates the 2 x Gouramis
2 x Flying Foxes
2 x Bala sharks

You mentioned something about the Cat, please explain...?
 
Good to know, think I will move them down to my Guppy feeder tank :)
Thanks
 
i would really suggest against khuli loaches. they stay small enough to get eaten by the clown knife, and I guarantee you will NEVER see them. They stay literally weeks buried under the substrate at a time. only leaving when you are asleep to look for food. You might even forget you have them after a while
 
You know I actually know exactly what you mean, I barely see them, so in other words they will probably get eaten without me knowing it hey?

P.S. How will a Jack Dempsey fit into my community if I move the other fish ???
 
I would not put a Jack in your community tank. I believe the fish was named after a famous boxer(I could be wrong on the sport) That should say enough. I have had a few. They do better if they are the smallest in the tank.
 
if your clown loaches cant fit in the knifes mouth then you have a chance of them living fine same goes for the other fish but they might harrass eachother
 
I'd get rid of these, and then you should be ok:

2 x Bala Sharks
2 x Siamese Flying Foxes
1 x Moonlight Gourami
1 x Golden Gourami
2 x Coolie Loaches
