I don't think its too overstocked, but I will say that the aro will probably not fit as it maxes out at 3 ft. Perhaps you could replace the aro with another gar or just cut it out completely?

I wasn't set on an aro, I like them for the look but I agree with you on that. I think at one point he would outgrow the tank. I was thinking another florida or is there something else that could work that would be cool for the tank along with those guys minus the aro

Perhaps you could do medium sized catfish that can take a beating. Maybe a pleco? I'm not sure, but my vote definitely goes to another gar or a medium sized catfish.

Would the cat get into it with the 2 rays you think? Ide love a nice size cat but ide be afraid of the rays accidently barbing him
Gotta see what kinda cats would be good!

I personally wouldn't add any catfish because the ray will tag the catfish if it feels threatened.
