my lfs has a bunch of royal knifes, and I am serioulsy considering getting one. How would one fair with an aro, a bichir, thin bar dat and a couple of pbass? Is it really hard to get them off live feeders? HOw fast do they grow and lastly what would be a good hiding place for one. My tank now is sand bottem with 2 clay pots and a bunch of plants. I dont think that is enough cover what would be good?

Thanks
 
dont just get one get them all lol

i would get another if i had the chance

they are fine with the fish you listed and make sure you have some hiding places
 
They go fine with the aros and the bichirs for certain. I have one in with mine. Are you certain they are royals? At that size clowns have stripes.

They are only like 8bucks for a 3incher.

get a picture. They could be regular clown knifes. Juvie clowns have stripes and are often mistaken for royals.
 
turns out that's what happened to me...I ask my lfs if they'd order me a royal. When it came in it had the most beautiful stripes of any clown I'd ever seen...now here I am 6 months later and it turns out they sold me a clown...

Im gonna get one either way, Ive always wanted a clown or royal. If they are royals that is a plus.

yeah...I'm gonna go back to the store to see if they'll actually get me a real legit royal...
then if it's a yes I'm gonna see if they'll put part of what they charged me last time for the damn clown and apply it to the cost of the true royal...
 
It should get along with all of those. No problem getting them off live food. My clown and rolay both eat pellets, clams, shrimp, whatever.
 
Get one I got mine with an aro, RTC and 2 oscars hes fine took a few months to get him off feeders but once it happened he never turned back and is grown like mad now
