I have a shop in southern maine and I'm putting together one of my showpiece tanks. My big main attraction is a 8 foot diameter saltwater reef shark pond. The one I'm having problems deciding on is a 300 gallon 96"x24x31. The only fish that has to go in there is a black arowana, which is my shop logo. I'm looking for recommendations as to what else would be nice to have in there. I've thought about the smaller rays, peacock bass, tinfoil barbs, Florida gar, shovel nose cat, perhaps an Oscar. What are others experiences? This will be my big fish freshwater tank.
New 300, what to put in it.

You can get away with 2 aros with the proper filtration and water changes to keep up with the nitrates. I would do 2 aros a few peacock bass and even a motoro ray could live in a 300.

No, 24" isn't even big enough for the black arowana, let alone a silver and a motoro ray on top of that. Read the stickies.
Bichirs, that arrowanas going to need all the room it can get with only 24" of width. Also, a customer would love to see a 20" inch poly of some sort..
