So far I currently have:
3 Oscars
Fire eel
Clown Knifefish
Silver Arowana
Royal Plecostimus
3 Pimelodius Pictus cats (which need to start getting bigger fast!!! or stay in the 55g)
1 Apollo cat (had 8 but the other 7 went for a trip inside the CK and havent returned hehe)
Yeah, I really would like to get a polypterus... but im gonna have to get a pretty large one as my oscars will think he's a worm if he's too small
One of those ornate birchirs would do well, specially if I can grow him to monstrous proportions. I love their shape and potential size.
I also would love to try my hand at keeping a Ray, but need to do a bit more research before hand to make sure that I dont end up hurting myself or it.
This is something that I will look into.
My gf dosent like the idea as she thinks ill get killed by the damn thing
Also I love the look of siamese tigerfish, especially when they are large, but they are brackish... although I have heard that there is a fresh species that is very similar.
I will definately get some more catfish to roam the bottom as I love those and perhaps a shoal of large apollos again if this one survives.
they get to a decent size and are very fast so I think theyll be ok.
By the way 12 october is going to be wall building time... I am not that good with wood and my stepdad will visit for the weekend to assist, so I have to wait.
I am going to do the electrics in the mean time though, so I have plenty of sockets for the tank and my studio gear... and also the lighting for when the ceiling is hung.
aaah I nearly forgot... I have always wanted a shovelnose!!!! 
so definately one of those... but the smaller one... not the one that grows 4ft...
( I am not 100% sure on the species, but have heard that their is a smaller species of shovelnose (perhaps hybrid).
We went to the LFS and my girlfriend put her finger in the top of a tank with a very cute shovelnose who nearly took her hand off!! hehe... she is not keen on the idea of having such a monster, but I certainly have to!
Ever since I started fish keeping I wanted one, but never had the space!

aaah yes, that rings a bell now
Well I will have to wait a long time before I get one as my royal has a lot of growing to do
