Is your tank overstocked, are you setting up a tank, check this out everybody!

I have been told that they are docile so I significantly reduced aggression against other species for that one. How long have you had those two combo together? Do you have hiding places for the shrimps during molting process? I would think that a molting shrimp is a food for just about any fish without hiding spots.

EDIT: Now I understand your question. Although all knife fish mouth sizes have been increased (since they really are big), your species has been marked with really low aggression which means it will not produce a warning like "will become food if you mix with...". If it still produces that warning, please let me know.

Tank is planted so yea they have plenty of places to hide, although some of them are pretty bold and just float around in the middle of the pack of all my bigger fish, haha.

I really don't know if all 10 I put in there are still there, but I put them in so long ago and at least most are still alive.

The African Knife I believe doesn't grow as big as the others, so I may have minimal problems for awhile.

Warning: Clown Loach is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space.
wow, its says a 120 gallon wide is to small for a clown loach but not an Oscar? lol?!

It told me that I don't have adequate filtration for my 75 gallon with 6- 1 inch CL's...

I have the AC110.

I agree in general with the assessment.

I love your site! You have done a great job so far and this is a very difficult task, especially with compatibility suggestions. What a great resource for the novice fishkeeper!

I applaud the warnings, especially the final adult size issues, but perhaps that would be more practical and useful if you could add a likely time frame for the fish at issue to outgrow the tank.

I think that this should be available in every LFS for the novice, but I doubt that any but the most responsible store owners would use it. Most would avoid it like the plague---they thrive on selling fish to novices that then die or kill their tankmates causing the novice to return for more fish! Not very smart, as the successful novice rpaidly becomes an experienced fishkeeper, and then often becomes addicted to 'more' like many of us on this forum---more tanks, more fish, mo bigger, mo better!

You probably used adult mode. Try the "juvy mode" and enter the actual size of your fish.
