I have a gang in my house, everybody having their own room, but I wonder if I could house them together someday so I can display them all in my living room. How much room would I need if I wanted to house this gang together, that is, assuming their personalities would be average together and not extreme;

male dovii
female umbee
giant gouramy
silver arowana

I reckon 300 would probably be the smallest possible tank, but if that's too small, how big do I need to go? I can put them in the 650 gallon stock tank in the basement, but I would really like to have them in a living room tank. Although...I could put together a plywood tank...

Silvers get huge. 300 is not enough surface area. As far as I know dovi are generally mean as hell I'm not sure if anything could be housed with him.

And GG are known to go psycho on occasion from what I hear. I think a big tank could work but that dovii, I would be concerned constantly

By big I mean really big
