i have a dark brown african knife.. looks alot different then the pics ill have to post to see what u think but mine is aggresive and was with a wolf fish but the knife was too pushy

Is this different woth papyrocranus afer?
I thinkk it have a different shape with afer right? Good fish..

No...this is not the same as P. Afer. P. Afer grows larger and are more aggressive.

I am looking to put four 3" kives in with irridescent sharks in a 55 gallon. Good mix? Maybe some debuai cats(too small?) or pims?

any help would be appreciated

I've got an irridescent shark in with my ABK. Not one problem with mine since I've had them together

my old knives didnt kill any of my fish, i had 2 abk and 2 bgk, the bgk hated each other but the browns would always get along, almost like a pair...
