i just got a ck and rck mixed, no aggression at all. could it be possible ts male and female.

though not implying i will breed them... hell no lol
im not a breeder, but could this be a reason they get along?
 
Knives are really hard to determine their sex. How big are they? Some Small Asian Knives tend to huddle together and can grow up together. Sometimes, mixing larger Knives can be a crap shoot.
 
breeding between a ck and a rck is isn't impossible. It's very difficult yea, but it's been done. i'll try to find a pic of the hybrid. I can imagine they'd look pretty cool :D

CK & RCK cann't breeding together, it too different.
But maybe for RCK & Chitala lopis.

this is biased at most man u cant prove none of that.. and anyway theres sites in thai and other asian languages clearly showing interbreeding.

now a viable question would be. can asian and african knifes interbreed. or more rares imo like bluntnose and tiger knife..

ck is chitala.. all chitala can breed.thats why theres shortbodied. no dorsal. etc there genetic deformity of inbreeding and cross breeding.
 
and henward your cks proly just becoming friends ;) mine rank up next to eachother all the time got a pic with at least 9 of them in line next to ech other.

dont expect any pairing off to happen until at least semi mature length around 16-20 inches... mfk fish need more time ;) like aro lol
 
my ckf is about 14 inches my royal is about 12...the royal is moaning and soft barking at night and looks like trying to make a nest in the middle of plants
 
love to see u tube or some vid footage.. cuz i swear i hear my knifes make noise sometime... thats pretty nuts if your getting courting with those 2.. nice!
