Welcome to MFK:) What size aquarium are the fish in, and what are your water parameters?

You can take a aquarium water sample to your lfs and let them test all parameters, you will have to know this in order to know if your filter can handle the bioload of the fish you want to keep in your aquarium.

What size tank is it? That's the biggest limiting factor here. If those are accurate measurements (inches and not mm, I'm assuming?), your options are limited as far as genuine 'monsters' go.

Watch your pleco if that's what you mean by 'sucker fish,' lots of people including myself have had issues with plecos sucking the slime coats off of Polys.

As for a test kit, the api master kit has everything. There are better kits, but the api kit is affordable. Avoid test strips--they aren't accurate.

Do you know what kind of Polypterus' you have?
