well for starters they grow very large! up to 40" TLKMDN has 2 of em

your MURDERER will be the hunted in this case but most CK are peaceful if kept and feed right.

theres are 3 commonly sold knives the ROYAL, GOLD, and the normal one.

they are not like the knives you've taken care of. if you plan to house it in your 75g forget it.

Yup, a 75 is too small....you will end up with territory diputes......mine is about 2 years old and is about a foot and a half....definately still growing like a champ....awesome fish but not a fan of keeping multiple knifes...... I have a 2 foot arowana that was raised since it had an egg sack on it then I added a baby CK to the mix and got lucky....trick is to start combo's out young.

You know I have had them before and have friends that have them and very rarely have I seen them past two feet.

Wow-you raised a CK that small-congrats really delicate at that size.

What's the fit sized tank for CK's then?Cause I'm moving my knives to a 55.
