Is it even remotely possible for any species to live in my 15" wide 6 ft long 85 gallon tank? I think it would be cool to have it but I don't think there are any that stay small enough to live in my tank.

You could go for Needlenose Gars, but no true gars.
Even better would be some of the smaller pike characins, etc.

You could keep a florida in that size tank awhile.. but not for life.. no.. so to answer you I think you should follow your gut and just say no until you can get a bigger set-up =)
