tiretrack eels, bichrs, andother fish that arent too small and arent too aggressive. oh and dont compete for food too much.

might be able too make sure yo have spaces for the bgk to hide. if its already 6-7 inch just if they start breeding you want a place for it to get away. i got one and i am keeping with a angelfish and a poly right now.

I'd be more worried about a Kribensis getting swallowed by the Knife than causing the Knife problems. The Knife has a surprisingly big mouth. I kept a BGK that got to be 14" with a constantly breeding pair of Rainbow Cichlids and had no problems other than trying to grow some of the babies to a decent size! And the tank was shall we say, considerably smaller than 75 gals.
