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

so i guess i wont be aloud to have kribensis with it

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.
