So I convinced my brother to let me put a BGK in his 120. It's mostly plecos and loaches but he has 8 giant danios that constantly chase each other around the tank at mach 5 speeds. Would the danios chase or harass the BGK? I don't want to put this fragile fish in if it's going through have to put up with crap from the danios.

BGKs are usually very poor competitors for food. The vast majority starve unless kept with calmer tankmates and target fed. Given that, I would doubt that Danios would be good tankmates...
 
I don't think it is a good idea. They are a pretty slow fish where danios are pretty fast.

I agree with the other posting feeding would be an issue. (At least a chance of it)

Knife fish are bottom dwellers so if you can get it to eat Hikari sinking carnivore pellets it might be able to coexist with the danios.
