The brevis tiger and armatus will most likely perish due to the brycon, but if u get them large the tiger fish and armatus might work. I know someone with a vatf that's huge with a brycon, but small the brycon will kill them. The rest will be fine, except the brycon will probably chase the mahseer a bit but they should be fine

So the stategy here is add the brycon last when all the others are adults add the adult brycon last is that correct?

Yes that would ideally be good. Could get away with it when they're smaller in a 2000 gallon. Also gotta make sure that their growth rates are equal. Armatus grow much faster than ATF and can easily out grow and eat the ATF. Use the search function on this app and read some of the stickies in the other characins forum. Scroll through the forum many people have asked the same questions and tried the same combos. DB junkie has a nice ATF armatus combo. In a 2000 gallon fish will be able to avoid each other pretty well but I'm assuming it'll be a long time before you'll get one. Good luck

Oh I forgot to tell you I will start off with a 400-600 gallon tank put one of the fish in let it grow up then move it to the 2000 gallon tank then do that with the brycon how will that work out?
 
I can't believe people are still responding to this kids wish list for an aquarium he only wishes he will someday have. After he moves out of Moms house. And gets through high school.
