Ok so i have a 98 lets just call it 100 gallon tank. I have a baby rtc but i can move it only like 4 inches have a 65 long for him till i can move him to the pond. but im getting off track here. I would like to keep a stingray of anykind. A lungfish. A wolf fish. A Arowanna. And an Aramatus. And a Bowfin because they remind me of my old snakehead. I really want the bowfin,stingray,and arrowanna. those are my favorites. what i need you guys to help me with is stocking what acan i keep with what or if i could do these just a solo species tank and i talked to my lfs guy he said the dimension give enough room for rays and its long enough for arrowanna and bowfin but i dont believe him could you guys verify its a standard 100
 
Those fish get WAY to big for a 100 gallon tank!!!! Try a pair of oscars. Or a single male jagware cichlid. . If you want cool and rare fish you could try a couple Asian upside down catfish. Listen to me do not kill fish. Those fishes growth would be stunted. Well they would probably kill each other before there growth is stunted. Please Listen!!!! Good Luck!!!!
 
thanks for the advice i did some outside research on here and found that a red hifin wolf should be fine by himself. and i also saw that a hysterix ray should fit by himself as well
 
You would also be able to do any of the African lungfishes. You're pretty much looking at those, a bowfin, a hystrix ray, or one of the smaller wolf species, but only one of any of those.
Thanks Wiggles african lungfish seems pretty cool meets my oddball requirements lol. i know this sounds bad but could i keep a red hi fin with hystrix, or a bowfin with hystrix. i just wanna know what i could do, wanna be sure.

I wouldn't try either of those combinations; it sounds like a recipe for disaster down the road.
 
Thanks for answering all my questions. I knew it would be disaster but i need to hear it from Someone else cuz I was starting to rethink it and contemplate it scary huh. Sad part is I still wanna try it I think I get the red hi fin and then base it on his temperament. Optimistic. Again thanks to all so far. Any more recommendations are great fully appreciated thanks
