So I am thinking of purchasing a 6-7 inch motoro. Will it coexist with a marble achara cat and a armoured bichir?

Yes about that 155 actually for about 1 year. Should I wait till I get my bigger tank?

A 155 is to small for a 7-8 inch motoro. Why don't you just start out with a 4 inch pup. What are the demensions of this tank?

Oscars probably attack the rays
Silver Arowana 155g is to small it may last you 1yr
Barramundi 155g is to small they grow fast
Nile Perch 155g is to small they grow fast
Jurupari should be fine with the rays
Endlis should be fine with the rays
Other bichirs should be fine with the rays
TSN 155g is to small
Jaguar Cichlid not sure but may attack the rays
Mota dont know what this is
Loiselli dont know what this is

Oh no I am not the thread starter didn't want to start another one so just asking my question in this. I have a black aro 24+, armoured bichir 14 inches, marble cat 5-6 inches, and a L-91. My tank is a bowfront 6ftx2ft in the middle is 2ft wide and 1.5 at the ends. I will be purchasing a 8x2x2 as soon as I purchase my new home in about 1 year.

If you are going to buy a new tank then try to get one that is wider if you can. The Aro still has some growing to do and a mature motoro will not be happy with that width of a tank. The pleco is a no and I would watch the bichir close.
