my 60 gallon freshwater tank

[DON PEDRO]

This is my 60 gallon freshwater tank (15x15x48)
-2 11"-12" American Alligators
-1 9" Jack Dempsey
-1 Small Red Eared Slider
-1 4" Red Bellied Piranha
-2 4"-5" Common Plecos

Had this tank up and running for 8 months. Everyone been in the tank from the start except the RBP. Thinking of introducing a Alligator Snapper to the family soon.

That sounds like an insane setup. They all get along?

well everyone gets along fine except for the Jack Dempsey(he is bit of a bully and a loner) and when its not feeding time. Other than that they all stay at there own little spot in the tank. I took a picture of my Jack Dempsey bullying my Slider at the bottom.
