You will have to do massive water changes with those fish. No less than 50% or more per week. Tbh 250 is not large enough to house those fish for life.
I think its plenty big for those fish with the exception of the clown knife. Ditch the clown knife and youre set.
What size would you guys recommend so I could keep the clown knife 400 gallon? Btw I am not worried about water changes already do weekly changes for the tanks they are in.
The issue is that clown knives can eventually get something like 36" long. So you need a tank wide enough that the fish can comfortably turn around. That being said, it will take a long time for a knife to get that big, most clown knives in captivity die for various reasons before reaching their full size. Frankly I think it would be best to consider a smaller growing species instead of building a 400g tank to be comfortable for a clown knife...
One problem is I already have all these fish. However, the knife fish is not even a foot yet. I thought a 240 fish tank would of been big enough for knife fish based off another post I saw on here. I guess sadly once he gets to big I will have to give him to a aquarium/zoo.
