ok I'm thinking about getting a 336 gallon tank and putting these fish in it and i would like to know if any fish won't work it it either to big or will get eaten also if any one has a tank similar to this tell me about it and i would also like some facts about some of these fish I've done research on them but you can't do enough research
1.tiger shovelnose catfish
2.Cuvier Bichir
3.pecock bass
4.red tailed catfish (yes i know this will out grow my tank) but go ahead and tell me i would love to get a paltinum[h=1]5 sturgeon
6. Arowana[/h]7. spotted gar
8. if i don't get the rtc i will get this Achara Catfish
give or take a couple fish thanks for looking

A cuvier or senegal bichir would be a snack for most everything else on that list. You could do an arowana and pbass in that size tank but everything else is too big
 
As a growout 336 gal is ok. But it won't house all the fishes you mentioned. As you mentioned some will out grow it. But that asside. TSN is overrated and ugly in my personal opinion even though I have one they are not the prettiest fish to cat to look at secondly their personality kinda sucks. RTC awesome I can't say that enough but grow tremendously fast. PB's are fast feeders they will probably get most of the food before the other fishes. They are not that interesting to me even though I have two. I prefer the LMB but since I can't keep LMB's PB's are close enough but I'm losing interest fast. Gar is interesting always loved watching the one at the lfs chomp on feeders as they split in two....lol. Achara cat is cool. Sturgeon is epically awesome but only prob is the water temp difference between the fishes can be tricky. Arowana always a beautiful fish and who doesn't have one. THe bichir is the smallest but by far one of the best personalities ever. I love the personality of a bichir especially the senegal whether regular or albino they are awesome. Give them a driftwood and place and they are great they move all over and have amazing personalities.

Community wise I'd choose wisely as most of theem will be eaten by the rtc in the future. THe bichir will most likely be the first to go. The arow will be a meal eventually too. Well glw setup...
 
I think it would be cool to have a Stergeon.. ive only seen one once in person at a LFS, he was about 2.5" and they wanted 40 bucks... thats a little pricey to me considering ive never seen a big one in an aquarium in person, plenty on youtube. Also not knowing anything about them at the time i didnt want to spend the money and end up with something i didnt like or whatever, if you do end up with one or whatever you decide to have please post pics!!
