Aquarium Advice Regular
My husband wants to buy a 55 gallon aquarium for our mutual Christmas gift. I've talked him out of oscars ("Look at the price of this 120 gallon, honey! They eventually need those!"), but he'd really like a knife fish. I hear that the black African knife is very hardy and easy to keep.
What would be good tank mates for a black African knife fish in a 55 gallon tank? I'd like to avoid gouramis, as I already have some of those, and the larger tetras don't do much for me. Are there any good chiclids? How about angelfish? I understand that the tank mates should be more on the docile side, and not so small that the knife will eat them.
Please have fun with stocking ideas! You're all so creative, I enjoy your thoughts.
