Looking for some ideas on my new 8x3x2 tank! I have no clue in a direction I wanna go.. Ide like too go more predator route but would love too hear some ideas!

I've always wanted to keep rays maybe some minis but not sure what too keep with them, ive always loved florida gars so thats an option maybe?I like some bass but get way too big for 300 most likely, Ide like too make it unique. I've also floated with the idea of a enormous community tank but thats last resort.

I've always enjoyed bigger fish so that's what I'm leaning toward. I have another tank with 6 birchir but dont think I could add any rays with them since they are both bottoms . Looking forward to throwing some ideas around

You could do peacock bass in your 300. You could also do smaller gar species with some bichirs (but it sounds like you already are up to your neck in bichirs, so you may not want more of those, lol). You could also do stingrays in your size tank.

You could also do a small species of arowana. Like a Jardini or Asian.

Would i have too not put my 6 bichir in the tank if I do a stingray??
As for peacock, what kind would you suggest? And would 1 be ok with 1 florida gar?
