i will be building a pond which will be 12 x 8 x 4 i would really like some of your opinions on some fish i could stock
my current fish are
1 x tsn 10 inches
1 x arowana 15 inches

iam looking for large growing fish that could co exist with the fish i mentioned above.
 
more big cats and more arrows? maybe some Oscars? pacu.. GG... just stock on max size not current sizes... just as easy to overstock a big tank/pond as it is a small one w/ the right fish..
 
what about gg there pretty aggressive when they are big i was thinking a spotted how big do they get
 
Just keep 1 flagtail, one is enough. They would fight to death when they mature, and what's more 1 is all you need for a whole tank, algae growth rate in a tank wouldn't keep up with a flagtails appetite.
 
oh then one flagtail for sure but will the tsn eat him

probably he will, If I was you I wouldn't get the Flag Tail because It might help you with the algae problem but he only reaches ~30cm and would be eaten the same for the oscar, I would get 2 more arowana, RTC, a big female motoro, and you can also put 3 Cichla occelaris that also reach a nice size and then you have a nice amazonian tank.
