Clarice Brough - 2013-04-23 There are a couple different eye problems that fish can have. You might be able to figure out what's going on from the info on the Fish Diseases; Eye Problems page.
Max miller - 2013-04-05 I have a gold clown knife and he is in a 45 gallon. Can he live in there forever with other 3 cichlids?

Jasmine Brough Hinesley - 2013-04-05 If he gets along fine with the cichlids, there is no reason they can't stay together. My main concern would be that the tank is too small. These knifefish can get quite large and a 45 gallon tank will not be big enough in the long term.
N - 2012-11-26 I have 2 clown knife fish in the same tank, and I am wondering how much longer I'd be able to keep them together; any suggestions?

Jeremy Roche - 2012-11-26 How big is your tank?
Clarice Brough - 2012-11-26 These are such cool fish! They aren't really aggressive, but each fish does need its own space to prosper. As it says above, a 55 gallon tank will work fine for until they reach about 10'. But with two, I think you would want to give them even more room (and ultimately a 200 gallon tank or so).
Klaus - 2012-10-20 I have 2 knifefish (in the same tank mind you) and I've been wondering would I be able to put some Angelfish in with them I'm also interested in clown loaches, any advice?

Clarice Brough - 2012-09-24 It may be the larger parasite, Argulus, also known as fish louse. They are about 1/4 inch long and need to be treated usually the same way as for flukes. See the fish diseases and treatment for more informaton about this and other parasites.
Tan Hui Chun - 2011-01-30 I discover my clown knife fish's body and fin (below) have white spot. It seems like rotten. I discover it already death in the next day. What is the problem? Can anyone tell me? Thanks.

david - 2011-06-12 White Spots all over the body is the major symptom of Ich. It can be treated by raising the temperature to 80*F. If it doesn't go away after a few days you can use a medication specifically designed to treat Ich. If the medication contains copper use it half dose as copper is extremely dangerous to scaleless fish like the Clown Knifefish. Hope this helps.
Art walton - 2011-01-27 I have a clown knife, her name is Peggy, that is 7 yrs old and 26 inches long. She's been in a150 gallon tank for the last five years.

carmine - 2012-01-03 I have had a clown knife fish for three years now and today found eggs in the tank. It is the only fish in the tank. Is this possible? I would think that they are infertile since there is no male fish. They are round clear balls with white membrane in them. I guess what I'm trying to ask is; they are eggs right?

Charlie Roche - 2012-01-03 My guess based on your description is that they are eggs. However, you are right, they would be infertile. Females can lay eggs and do not need a male to do this. The eggs are just infertile. Think about chickens - they just lay eggs. With no rooster - they are just infertile eggs but the chickens will sit them anyway but no baby chick in there.
carmine - 2012-01-03 Thanks, that's what I thought.
Alex Burleson - 2012-01-04 If it is the only fish in the tank, your best bet is that they came from the Clown Knife Fish, in your aquarium. However, if you have invertebrates such as shrimp, or crabs in the aquarium you can assume the eggs are from them. Knife Fish, are not commonly bred in the home aquarium. If they are from the Knife Fish, they are therefore, sadly infertile and will not hatch.
The beautiful Clown Knifefish is probably aquarist's most favored species of knifefish!

I have a 8 inch clown knife fish inside a 75 gallon is that fine?
It will do fine in that sized tank! Just make sure to have adequate filtration.
