help needed witch knife fish could I get?

[coflowerhornguy]

What is a good knife fish for a 125? Cant get a clown so any thoughts on this would be great.

A bgk would be cool. They get too like 16". I've always wanted one

Brown ghosts are even cooler

Or papyocranis afer.

I'd go with the bgk. A zebra knife fish would also be neat

I agree!!



My little guy ^ brown ghost, he's about 4-5 inch and isn't aggressive in the least. He sifts through the sand w/ his nose like I would expect an elephant nose mormyrid to do. They also have the longer jaw that I vastly prefer in knife fish over knives like Clowns and African Browns. More like an Aba but pointed downward. The info I found has them maxing out at 12 inch

My dream knife is an Afer, aka "arowana knife fish". Have yet to find one though.

Another vote for a brown ghost knife. Cool fish, peaceful with an interesting personality. Here's my old one in my former 65g:

I currently have a trio of african brown knifes in my 150. Also very cool. Always out and about with interesting group dynamics

I personally like every knife fish mentioned

I have a 20" clown knife in my 150g, he's my most fascinating and favorite of al my fish.
