I was wondering how big is the African Marbled featherfin knife fish also.

ah the knifie fish is roughly 7-8ins. I got two of em right now. One is highly aggressive while the other is more passive. Aggressive fellow actually bit the passive guy for bout a day or so...but now they're best of friends. however, any other fishes i placed in there get bitten and chase about. including my plecos.
with the exception of an ornate bichir who I'm guessing has been able to hold his ground against them. In that if disturbed, he would attack back...

You could always try...does your LFS accept returns?

I really doubt so...and if i were to try...It is going to be a very expensive trial for me lol

I wouldn't risk it if your African Marbled featherfin knife fish is as agressive as you say.
