I am setting up a 210 now for my 16"to 18" inch Clown Knife. Currently in a 150 gallon L shaped in a corner so the aquarium's footprint is bad for him/her currently with a parrot and 13 large Silver Dollars.
My Knife fish needs more room...... My Silver Dollars will be food someday. Plus they'll have fun running in the entire L tank... it will be good.
So my 210 gallon and Clown Knife will need some tank mates to. Here are some things I've found on the net....
Tank Mates:*My Clown's current tankmates are a pair of CarpinteXJags, a female Jag, two Super Red Synspiliums, a ZZ Flowerhorn, a TexasXDevilXCon, a male Midas, a Sailfin Pim cat, P. blochii, S. angelicus, and a Brown Bullhead.
Past tankmates included several Midas, Trimacs, Bifasciatus, BP's, Dovii, Salvini, Motaguense, and a RedTailed Catfish among others. Basically he'll live with anything that's too big to fit in his mouth and too small to eat him.
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
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
