I've had my current 60g (long) tank up and running since last summer. Despite my taste for large fish, my current stock is doing very well together. My current stock is as listed below:
x1 Common Plecostomus
x1 Azul Peacock Bass
x1 Polypterus Endlicheri
x1 Silver Arowana (Surprise!)
Please keep in mind that all of the fish in my tank are juveniles. All of them are pellet fed; I do this a) to slow down their growth rates (small tank problems), 2) to avoid the risks live feeder fish possess. All of them fit perfectly in the tank-for now, that is. All of them are voracious eaters, so it's a competition to feed all of them. The arowana is on Hikari floating carnivore pellets, the Endlicheri is on sinking shrimp pellets, the Azul will eat just about anything, and the pleco gets whatever they don't. I know my tank and current stock do not match up. The tank is too small for permanent keeping, and the fish get too large. I'm monitoring their sizes to make sure I can keep them in the 60 until summer. A BIG upgrade is potentially in store, in the context that my arowana can remain in my 60 for that long. I'll be sure to check in with you guys if I have any issues, because I know you're the most knowledgeable around. Here are some pics:
P.S. the second pic doesn't capture my whole tank. It's not that small
