Id go with peacock bass, large mouth bass, gar, and knowing me, Id even through in some cichlids that can hold their own. (red terror, jack dempsey, oscar)

do something diffrent, mix em up, people say you cant, Ive mixed up fish before and its worked for me

you may also consider a stock tank too, they are fairly cheap

most definetely. The way we built the plywood tank (me and my old man), was making a plywood frame. it's something like 8' x 4' x 24". Simply make a supporting frame, then outline the inside of the frame with pond liner, and bam. You've got yourself a plywood tank cheap.

sound cool, but i just want something simple, anyone got any pics of pre made indoor ponds?

i was thinkin of gettin some catfish, i have not done fresh for over a year, so what are some good tank mates with catfish?
