this tank should be fine for your black aro but imo with your list of tankmates you should watch out on your aquarium bioload so better get the best filtration system to get the job done. :thumbsup:
think its to many fish? all of these fish wont be added at once over a year

2 teacup hystrix M/F (first couple months)
2 widebar datinoids(around 6 months)
1 black arowana(6 months to a year)
1 fire eel(first couple months)
1 black ghost knife(first couple months)
1 tire track eel(first couple months)
4-6 clown loaches( first month)

Im gonna have 2 rena xp3s and Pentair Aquatics Fluidized Bed Filter- 900. eventually once all fish are added i might add another xp3 well see how it works out tho(OOH YA IM GONNA RUN MY FILTERS ON PRECYCLED TANKS. so thats why fish will be added so soon. my filters will run on tanks for like 2-3 weeks. except my bed filter
 
as long as you add them like you plan and you water is already cycle it should be ok.
and since you been keeping all those fishes, I'm sure you know how aquariums work. :)
just make sure you use most of you cycle water since 235 gallon is a lot. :)
 
Grrr didn't mean to hit submit
 
Ya even tho I'm gonna run the filters on another tank I'm still gonna let them run for a week or 2 before I add fish. I can't wait tell its all setup I've been reading up for months. Anyone my age got an aquarium this size?(I'm 13 :thunbsup: )

nice tank. did you get that bad boy from glasscages?
Yup
 
thats alot of fish. I would say overstocked when all grown your arowana,dats and rays all get REALLY BIG. and the loaches and eels get really big but it takes them longer.
 
ya i know its kinda pushing it but in a year we are gonna get a tank in our basement so i can put some fish out there. i dont know if i will get the dats
 
Wow thats a cool tank. I'm 16 and hopefully I'll be getting a large tank like that one soon... I've got to do some more work before I have enough money...
