I currently have a 46 gallon planted community tank with a steel blue Apisto hybrid, 4 otocinclus, 2 platies, a swordtail, a small angelfish, 3 small 2.5" clown loaches, multiple corydoras species and a Brochis splendens. What I want to know is, would a 4"-6" Xenomystus nigri/African knife fish prey on any of these?

Ya, not the best idea. Probably would chase, if not eat, the Swordtail and Platie. (I know mine would have)
Ya, they would most likely be harassed by the Knife. chased around the tank and stressed until thy end up dieing. Its just not the best combination.
not to mention the stress that would be put on those itty bitty CL's. theyd be harassed, no doubt.
good choice. gotta love the brichis lol. like cories on steroids... how big is yours?
btw you would want at least 3 of them.

yeah they are lol. like little green tanks. i may get some of those when i redo my tank, but that'll be some time from now...
Heh, I have a 46 bowfront too.
Anyway, my adult angelfish has about the same size mouth as my adult African Knife (if not larger).
