Almost 75% of your list excede 24". Some grow north of 36". Please try harder to meet the OP's guidelines before just randomly tossing out terrible advise
i think everythin in that list besides silver aros would be great
electricblue, just bc a care sheet says they CAN reach a certain size does not mean they will attain that in captivity.
most wont even get close.
the gars MIGHT get cramped after a long time but it will take a while

I agree that I did toss in some bad stuff (aros, some plecos and gars, I didn't read the dimensions, just saw it was 10 ft), but 75%? Sourbim lima grows south of 24" and the Juruense catfish grows 24"? Clown Knife Fish max at around 18-20" in the home aquarium. What NW cichlid (besides certain peacock bass and dovii), grow larger than 24"? I never told him to buy the largest NW cichlids like dovii and umbee anyways. Datnioides might manage 20" in an aquarium, 24" tops!
And oh btw, Red-Tail Brycons get 18" (reported). Other brycons may reach over 24". but you'll need to look hard to find them in the hobby (Brycon guatemalensis, etc.)
Hystrix and adonis plecos reach over 24", my bad. Sailfins may reach that size, however probably smaller, and commons usually are smaller as well.
Giant Raphael Catfish may grow over 24", but that is a max size as well. Peacock bass can grow 36" if you get the largest species, but smaller species get to 24" tops.
Let's see, that makes it the adonis, hystrix, two gars and the arowana over 24". Note the hystrix may not even get 24". That's terrible advise by my part. But saying that 75% of the list in wrong is just stupid. Apparently 4/16 makes 75%?
I'll take the lesson learned though, read the definitions and make better recommendations. I think next time when your trying to criticize somebody, at least try harder to make your comments accurate.
