Are knives hard to keep?

No they are not. Even a beginner can keep them but some beginner are so clueless that the LFS will give them mis info and end keeping them in a small tank.

I have 2 little ones, maybe 3.5" they do bond, and kinda mingle with the ABK that they are with currently. I always know when it's a ret. knife, as they swim differently that the ABK's do. Cool to see what it'll end up looking like in your first post.

Thank you for sharing.

no not hard to keep at all just hard to keep WITH ANYBODY ELSE

It all depends on the species.

My fav. knife by far. I have a few right now with some Anguilla sp. eels, the only thing I've been able to keep with them thus far. They've killed the dither cichlids I kept with them
