At the moment i have a 80 gallon tank with:

1 Oscar(8 inches)
1 tinfoil barb(6 inches)
1 clarius catfish(walking catfish 10 inches)that is as big as it grows

i was wondering if i could keep a green terror in with my fish
if any knows please answer if you know any fish experts please also email
thanks!!!

p.s. please answer within one week this is when i am going to get one
 
I wouldn't do it. Your stock is already pretty heavy.

i think you need to read up on clarius catfish because i checked on a hunch i had and 10" is far from what i have found as max size, more like 22" with 18" being common in aquariums.
also, the phrase "tank killer" comes up in a lot of the profiles and descriptions.
This is unless there are more than one type of clarius but i couldnt find any contradicting info to what i found.

that would be a no on the green terror.
 
yeah and even if you got rid of the clarius it would still be a bad idea to add a GT to that tank. oscars are very messy fish and need a lot of space and water volume to handle their waste. IMO that O needs to be the only large fish in there. your already overstocked IMO as the tinfoil and oscar could still double in size if taken care of properly and apparently so can the catfish
 
I have caught clarias up to 18" myself. I caught a leucistic one once too, but I couldn't keep it because they're illegal in Florida.
