im wondering if anyone has had a knife disturb other fish while they are sleeping at night, stressing them out? I got an ABK and he is very active at night
 
Yea my knifefish does the same, hes the largest fish in there and was also solo until december last year. So I think he sees it as "his" tank. I just added new caves and hiding spots for the other fish, as far as I cantell he doesnt really stress them out anymore as eveveryone else in the tank sleeps somewhere safe when the knife cant get to them.
 
I had the same thing with my BGK. He is 14 inches so he is hard to miss. Everyone would be chased out of there spots. But now either the BGK knows not to go there or the other fish go someplace safe. He has never messed with my Oscar. My Pleco and BGK still complete for area at night. Sometimes he will unknowingly back into the others. It kind of funny to watch.
