David R Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Ornate should work, Senegal probably won't Ornate will be fine, so would any of the larger lower-jaw species (if you ever get lucky enough to find one!!!). Smaller species like palmas and senegal might not be big enough in the long run. Dats would work great, come from the same area, similar diet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milet Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Lol im going to do some reaserching on dats now then david. What sort of size do they get to and would it keep up with the growth rate of my clown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Mine is about 7-8" and I've had it for 2 years, bought it at about 2". I think they'd be a bit slower growing than clown knives, but haven't kept them so can't really comment. They can get over 18" eventually, but 12-14" in a few years is about normal.

Milet Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Dont really think Dats are for me. Ive been looking around and Im gonna try to a bichir, oscar, Choc talking catfish. All a bit bigger than the knife is now. What other fish would be "Un-eatable", not becuase of size, but just cos' of something else. Eg Spiny fish etc. (sorry im tired i cant even think properly :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Careful with the O's. I think Tracey had hers housed together for a bit and the O's were a bit boisterous for the clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
