Well, can a TSN work with a ray? I fo not even want pacu... They are just the only thing i could think of that could go with a rtc... So, would PBASS a ray a TSN, amd ither large fish like a giant gourami work???

For this stock, nothing less than 2000 gal will suffice IMHO. In fact, if we are talking for life, I'd say at least 5000 gal. In a small tank like 700 gal, you cats will kill each other: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?549340-rtc-x-tsn-hybrid-attacked-my-tsn
Yes that sounds good. But a large ray will almost cost you as much as a tig. Or are you growing them out from a small size?

you dont wont to pay $500 bucks for a fish but how much do you think the tank will cost to house the cats you mentioned
so your going to buy a $20 RTC TSN or hybrid then spend about $2000+ to set up a tank for it thats a smart move
if you dont have $500 to spend you need more money for large cats
Tsn mouth are designed to open much larger than adult rtc. Anatomically their skulls are lighter and more loosely connected than rtc. Adult tsn can take larger prey than rtc. Rtc is an advanced and opportunistic predator that takes a wide variety of prey items but in the wild mainly crustaceans. Tsn is more of a sit abd wait predator and needs the very large mouth to take whatever sized prey comes close but will also actively hunt when hungry. Planiceps takes it even farther. The flatter the head and more compressed it is the larger the mouth can gape. Size of the body has nothing to do with it. 2' rtc mouth gapes about 5" but 2' tsn mouth can gape around 7". Much thinner fish but the anatomical design allows the mouth to open much farther. 
just though i would throw that out there.
