Stocking suggestions (Predatory)

[African Dick]

I just purchased 2 African Brown Knife Fish, 1 Senegal Birchir, and a Spotted Climbing Perch. I was wondering if I should take back one of the 2 Knife fish? What would be some good tankmates? I could add more leaf fish, birchirs? Any suggestions are welcome. I need some mid-level swimmers that will not eat plants. The middle seems empty.

African Knives can be quite aggressive especially towards thier own kind.How about a nice Severum???Or maybe a Chocolate Cichlid(Temporalis).

african knives are NOT aggressive to anything at all, except maybe their own kind. They are as docile as can be towards anythign that wont fit in their mouth.

dont get an african butterfly.....very boring

i'd go with different kinds of polypterus, such as delhezi or palmas buettikoferi and then some sort of bigger cichlid like a nice sized severum.
