I found that dither fish, such as giant danios are very very quick fish and the clown knives cannot keep up with them at all. Also large silver dollars or pacu can become tank mates.
i bought 10 Zebra danios at walmart along with 2 giant danios less than a week ago. They are in a 55 gallon tank with plenty of water current from two power filters (aqua-tech and whisper) and an air pump(whisper) with an airstone and bubble wall.

Danios Several species of Danios are often found in pet stores, including the Giant Danio - Danio aequipinnatus, the Zebra Danio - Brachydanio rerio, the Leopard Danio - Brachydanio frankei, and the Pearl Danio - Brachydanio albolineatus.
There have been very few instances of them being bred in captivity, but one report was published in the February 1996 issue of Practical Fishkeeping: An aquarist in England had four large (11" - 14") specimens in a tank with some 4" giant danios.
This includes zebra danios, leopard danios and giant danios. Both long fin and short fin danios are excellent starter fish.
