Thanks
 
there currently spaced out between 2 75 and one 90 but soon my custom 10' x 4' x 2' will be complete almost 600 gallons
 
First off you would have to decide between the knifes because the afer will more then likely kill the other one since they don't play too nice with other knifefish. But as far as the polypterus are concerned I wouldn't be worried a lot of people keep various knifes with polypterus including afers. I would be worried about the arowana because they look similar in shape to some knifefish. But that would be a question for the knifefish and or arowana forum.

Aro will pick up polys and take for rides. I really don't think they can hurt them.
