While I respectfully disagree with the 200 gallon tank size being needed.
I do agree that a decent size tank is needed to house a ghost knife adult.
Preferably a 6 footer.
If you were to choose some dithers I would say that some of the medium sized barbs would be best. Nothing too small that the BGK would make a meal out of at night when it is patrolling but also nothing too large IE: Tinfoils.
Arulius barbs are a nice choice as are spanner barbs. Clown barbs would also make a nice addition.
Now without knowing what size tank you have and assuming that you still have some room left. I would say 3 or 4 of the aforementioned barbs.
That being said I hope that you have at least a 77 gallon preferably a 90 or more.

Buenos Aires tetras are usually large and fast enough to mix with non-piscivores like blood parrots.
