i was planning on putting my 6" clown in with two angels in a 30 gallon, but i'm pretty sure that he'll outgrow them and the tank quick, after reading a few posts here.... anyone kept them with angels? Any problems?
What to house with a Clown Knife
- Thread starter shamrock
- Start date
jokin i got them to sell to people but then realized most people that want to buy them are going to keep them in small tanks like 55s so i just am keeping them now so they dont go to bad homes
and by the way i have a ton of room for them so why not have that many silvers (i only have 9 left now because i did sell quite a few to some good homes)

It is nice to go on a site where people know what they are talking about!
Thanks a ton guys!
What about Cichlids--big aggressive cichlids--I figure if the knife is larger they will respect its mouth and they could possibly coexist--The thing is I tried an TSN and I notice the TSN tail was chewed up--So I thought that I must have fin rot or something--hiowever, one night I dimmed the lights and noticed that the CK was constantly harrassing my TSN-it got to the point where the TSN had no tail and when I would walk by the tank my TSN would freak out and ram into the glass--needless to say I gave the TSN to my training partner. Then I tried an Albino Oscar and the same thing--my freakin CK is crazy-so I was thinking of Jag or Trimac something that can stand its ground! Let me know what you guys think--is it possible--cause I really like the CK but I do not want to have one fish in my 1000 gallon pond!

I'd like to hear about how they get along as well. I am thinking of housing mine with angels and discus.MetronomeJ;309893; said:
The question of wether they get along or not is relaitve to the fish and environment. Once the harmony is there, try not to change them at all.
I always like to get fish when they're little, so when they fight for terrotry, there will be less damage when they're small versus when they're huge.
So far in my tank I have:
10" Gold CK
11" Black CK
12" Royal CK
10" Black Ghost Knife
14" Tigrinus
10" TSN
3" Blood Parrott , 3 of them
12" Silver Arowana
8" Green phantom Pleco
8" Stripped Raphael
8" Delhezi Bichir
7" Green Severum
Everyone other than the two CK gets with eacj other sometime, but they usually calm down after a week or so....They were fighting for a week, and then suddenly they get along normally like htey have been for the past year.

Everyone keeps referring to a TSN.......what is that? My friend is looking for a tankmate for his Clown Knife and is totally against an arowana (why, I don't know). What about a Pink Tailed Chalceus or "watermelon fish"? Please, give me ANY suggestions besides an arowana??
i wouldn't put a trimac in with a clown knife as it will eventually kill the knife!my royal clown gets on with my oscars ok but there is a healthy respect there so they mainly keep out of each others way.He also hand feeds and i've only had him about 6 weeks! KHS a tsn is a tiger shovelnose cat one huge mother!!!
