Will a CKF & RCKF get along?

[toehead11183]

I got a 72"x20" tank and my wife wants a Clown Knife but I think the Royal looks better. Can they get along in a 175 until they out grow it? I'm thinking of throwing a Senegal Bichir, a Green Terror, a Yellow Bullhead and an Oscar or two in there with them. Any suggestions?

Also, whats they differance if keeping a regular clown and a 'gold' clown?

I'd think they may be all right f bought together at same size and our put into the same tank at the same time! All those fish would need ot be upgraded though.

its a big risk, chances are they will fight at least a bit.... ck will go bigger and its already his established territory will be the biggest upset....

If you start them off small together, it might work, but there's no guarantee.

Well, I have this combo in my 200 g long... Actually there are 2 CK's (a regular and a golden) and the royal knife. The CK's fought a bit in the first days, but they never bothered the royal.

I guess they are different enough in the behavioral department, so they can coexist peacefully.

Best regards.
