and for filtration see if you can set up a 55 gal sump that will do for a little till they get bigger then you can add a canister or 2

ya.. thats WAY too much fish for a 240 gallon..

Only do this..
1-silver arowana
1-bichir
1-pleco(any type?
1-green terror
1-jack dempsey
1-albino tiger oscar
either a knife or Gar.. and nothing else..

or whatever fish that u want and change up..

Some of the fish can't work well together..

wat do i take out? couldnt i just directly use canisters?

 

[aznjonathanchu@yahoo.com]

ok ima take out shovelnose and either gt jd or jag

 

[zerojquan85]

a sump is a better option with a huge tank than canister...

canister can't get everything.. and especially with gravel..

go sump

 

[aznjonathanchu@yahoo.com]

ok so is my tank good now? or do i still gootta take fish out?

 

[fishfobia]

you can keep the aro,sholvenose,and if i was you i would do the severums and the the parrots but the red are hard to find
