on stocking idea #2 I would swap the BGK with an Afer(I have both) they get bigger and don't hide anywhere near as much since they rely on sight more than electromagnetic fields to know their surroundings mine comes and greets me when I come in the room. As far as the bichir you might go with one or more of the big 3 upperjaws (Teugs are my favorite) if you prefer lowerjaws maybe a Lap since they stay smaller. Catfish wise you could do a lima shovelnose

If your in Asia or Canada could do Asian aro and lower jaw combo. It’ll be nice.

I love tuegs hints my name haha I have considered one or a few. I have considered a Lima as well. I just would prefer something a little more eye catching. That’s why I mentioned a vulture cat or maybe a granulos catfish. (Maybe too big) I want something active for the upper level something active and fairly large. Just not sure I’ve considered odoes. Smaller gars, but I’m not completely sure
