Future stock list 240 gal

[rottbo]

clown knifes grow quick i would just put them in the big tank now might as well little fish can go in a big tank they will grow faster that way anyways thats the best way in my mind silvers will get along with the clowns but b warned though clowns can get pretty mean thats why i had mine grow up with all the other fish and never fed him live food of course i dont like live feeders except crickets that i breed in my basement

I pick up my 240 gallon today. I have to drive to Madison, WI today to get it. I'm leaving about noon. About a two hour drive. Are we there yet??!! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. I'm visiting a huge fish store down there too. Maybe picking up an arowana, and who knows what else? My wife was assuming I was putting this monster 8' tank on her dresser! LOL!!! To my surprise, she has not asked what I spent on the tank yet. The 240 is coming from glasscages in TN. I might be buying a 75 or 90 gal while at the big fish store as well. I'm glad I pay my credit card online and the wifey doesn't see the statement.

Updated list

3 clown knives (may only be one as adult depending on demeaner)
1 oscar
1 senegal bichir
1 red snook
1 silver arowana (waiting for answer from lfs on ordering)
1 green terror (already have him)
6 silver dollars
2 Severums (already have them, 4 actually)
1 fire eels ( waiting for answer from lfs on ordering)
1 Jack dempsey

If no on the pleco, what would be a good ground cleaner from the messy eaters??
Any suggestions??
My top priority is the clown knife, senegal bichir, fire eel. What would some of you mix with them??

I nixed the midas, sounds to aggressive as adult. I nixed the columbian shark (brakish as adult). Nixed the pleco from someone's advise about being a problem with my bichir. Nixed the pacu and irr sharks as well. Bring on the suggestions friends!!

THanks all,
Dave

nice tank. I just had them make me a tank 235 gallons (LxWxH) 5' by 3' by 25". looks like a good stocking list.

clown loaches would be gone the next morning!!
iridescent sharks are going to be fish food too depending on size
especially if you get a silver arrowana
add 3-5 fish every week until they are all in there
put the smaller ones in first!

arowana would definitely be great in this tank.
