You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I used a 55 gallon tank as a growout for my silver arowana and it outgrew it in less than three months. And most plecos will eventually put grow a 40 gallon too. So would most cichlids.

I suggest a pair of rams or convicts. Or if you're looking for something different, a couple of dwarf puffers are pretty cool too (they can get pretty aggressive though, so don't overdo it).
 
Giant danio would fit easily... Filament barbs, Arulius barb and rosy barb could all fit as shoalers.

Congo tetra too.

Something mid-sized would be Blood Parrot (some weird people don't like them) or possibly a Severum or Angelfish.


I dunno what catfish would fit but chaca chaca and banjo catfish are pretty weird, they would be fine.


Strangely enough, that tank is 2 inches longer than my 72 gallon tank.
 
thanks for the help... now i have a really new options to start my tank... I was thinking to have a really active and big fishes...
Now some questions:

What tankmates for the chaca-chaca?

Can i have a fire eel in my aquarium?

How much green puffers can i have in my aquarium? And what tankmates can i have with this little guys?

Do you have any suggestion about a 6'' characins?

I'm just thinking about some options to do the best choice...
Waiting for answers and new opinions
