Tank Mates For Clown Knife Fish

[black molly3]

i was just wondering what are suitable tankmates for clown knife fish

 

[cane76]

clown knives can have a nasty streak and they are highly predatory
tank mates should be big and tough
i have found arowanas,stingrays,bichirs,eels and large catfish work ok

would oscars be ok. i have also read that not too aggressive cichlids are ok.
if the cichlids are true what sort or cichlids should i keep with him/her
thanks

I kept mine fine with oscars, bichirs fire eels, large clown loach plecs etc
Just use your head anything you feel will fit in its very large mouth forget

ive actually managed to keep a clown knife and 6 corydoras and a full grown angel in the same tank. the clown knife never harmed any of the fish (if anything the angel attacked the clown at feeding time). but unforunately they all died due to an illness i couldnt figure out in time. :[

I guess it was good luck and bad luck. well good luck to you ;D

Id imagine yours must have been small? a clown knife grow to 40+inches,ive read that some people feed theres feeder goldfish/corys/convicts/tetra's etc...so not a good idea
