Guys,
i have a 600 gallon 8' x4'
how does this list sound...

silver aro
tiger shovelnose
rtc
Rtc tsn hybrid
giraffe cat
niger cat
florida gar
royalclown knife
3 azul peacock bass
1 armatus

too much? If any of these don't work can you recommend any mid dwelling or schooling fish that can make it with the cats?

OH...IO
That's a great size for a tank. I'm a fan of big cats but realistically I would just go with the Niger and giraffe. All of the other cats will be too much and get too large. Nigers get large (my old one is currently 40") but are far less active. Everyone else should be fine.

Wow that's an awesome list I have tsn and rtc with Oscars and pacus ....but yeah I think you may be over crowding due to the size some of them get u may need to upgrade

Great footprint on that tank! U really can stock that but I agree with the above. Those cats get really big and you might find in a year or two you will be over crowded. I have a 36" Niger now, it was 6" five years ago LOL. What filtration are you using?
