black ghost knife fish compatibility

Question
hi, i was wondering if a black ghost knife fish is compatible with kuhli loaches, red tailed black shark, angel fish, clown loaches and elephantnose fish. I understand that they can grow large and am worried that they may eat the kuhli loaches or pick on the other fish.
Thanks for your time.

Answer
Hi Martin,
  I have not kept them, but they are predators so I would strongly suspect that kuhli loaches would not last long.  I can't say about the other fish.  They do grow large so be sure you have a large enough tank.
