Knifefish for a 166 gallon?

Guys... what are some good knifefishes can one keep in a 166 gallon tank? Any tankmates can go with it?

post dimensions. If dimensions are 2 feet wide, than a clown knife with no tank mates is possible. Another option is a shoal of about 5-6 African brown knife fish with other small tankmates.

Dimensions are in cm: 150 cm x 60 cm x 70 cm.

A clown knife might be ok. The length is kinda short. A shoal of 5-6 ABK with some of the smaller bichir species (senegal, mokelembe, delhezi, palmas palmas, palmas polli, palmas buettikoferi, retropinnis) would be your best option.

ABK huh? Nice.... so if I want to keep a CK... it would be the sole occupant of the tank?

Yes, but hed most definetly be cramped, id say a clown knife would be a Little to big. How about Black Ghost Knife?

I forgot about south american knife fish. they aren't as active as the African and Asian knife fish but there is more variety. I agree with Karl K
