I keep hearing about clown knives being aggressive, but i have yet to experience one. I'm not saying that there aren't aggressive knives out there, but in my experience...so I think your tank should work out fine.
Hey great! This is a future prodject by all means. I still have to get and set up a tank for them. And that all depends on the all mighty dollor. Thank you for your help. I wasn't sure, because I read that clowns are agressive, and ghosts aren't so much. I just don't want to have my fish picked on to death.
one thing to remember is that some knives use electric signals to hunt for food. i know that the BGK does but I am not so sure about the clown.. If so they might interfere with each other.. I have never had that combo of fish so I don't know for sure but it is something to watch for
basically ok by me-however re:eels a well sealed edge is a must as they don't know when their poking around near the surface that they will end up outside the tank and of course once they do they sure as heck(is it ok to use this word?)Lund said:
don't know how to get back in, if found not too crispy take a shallow dish of tank
water, place eel in-important! you must move the eel to get oxygenated water
flowing over the gills ,just being in water at this stage is not enough, their dry their weak, you must move them to get water flowing over their gills.
P.S. i didn't invent this but have used on numerous occasions,not all successful,
but i'm sure the ones i saved were happy. Make sure their is enough food for
the eels and black ghost knife as they will compete for basically thefood.remember size
matters- in a 200 gal. your clownknife will have the possibility to grow large enoughto eat his tankmates.
The clown knife doesn't start getting aggressive until after 10". Mine, now at 21" only gets along with three 12-14" florida gars and a 5" senegal bichir (he's his homie iono what the deal is)
