I have heard so many varying sizes for black knives,from 20" down to 8" in size I would think 55gal would be min for 8" 100gal for 20"Ill figure that out later I got enough budget to house him either waythumbs2:

A 29 isn't big enough, not even to start one with those cichlids in there. Most grow slowly, but even then you need to be able to deal with them full grown.

55g will support one but a 75g for one by himself I think is fine. As said, a 100g is ideal.
