a silver arro can reach 2-3' in length, so without a bigger tank, i would pass on the arro
bichirs can grow quite large too, however alot of them are fairly slow growing and will live for quite a long time, in a 24" wide tank
a tiger shovelnose is another beast, who has the potential to reach 3', or more form what ive read
a royal pleco will be more than happy in there for a long, long time, but even they can grow to be quite large.
you definatly got the monster bug, now can your tanks keep up with it is the question??? the fish you like all have potential to become beasts with proper feeding and tank maintenence

well im buying them all small right now. so i think by the time they need something bigger i should be able to make them a bigger tank. i almost have my wife convinced to let me build a monster tank probaly about 800-1000 gal once i enclose the porch.
Some of those get quite large and fast too. be careful of your selection unless you would be willing to come up with another tank in a short amount of time.
