at least I think I will...

I will be picking up my new 75 gallon tank come the first of the year. I'm going to take a while to set it up so that I can get everything in order how I want it.

I currently have a juvi black ghost knife who currently resides in a 20 gallon. I know of one success story of a BKG with cichlids. I don't KNOW of any horror stories, but could imagine. I was wondering how well you guys think it would work out if I had the tank set up with MANY rock caves and such for territory/hiding/etc and got some of the less aggressive cichlids.
I've heard many stories of BKGs being able to be housed with angels.
I was thinking perhaps angels, but was drawn a bit more to Dwarf Cockatoo and Keyhole cichlids.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Fire mouths, sevrums, maybe a BP maybe a Pink Con or something would all be cool i think they would be alright with ru BGK to
 
The BGK would also be ok with the Geophagus species. try a couple of surinamensis, they are stunning fish when adult!!
 
BGK's go with just about any NW Cichlid, i keep my 8" guy with a 11" Oscar, blood parrot, sevs, convicts and its also been in the same tank as a red devil/midas, and heaps more i dont think it will be a problem at all.
