Hi Richard, I'm Dee and just joined myself. Wow, that's f#ckin kewl! It would be Kewl to see a arowana in there! That babe will grow to fool potential, 3 feet plus! The sky's the limit if you have a pool that size! Haha I love it! Awesome bro!
 
Those red tails are going to grow so fast, should look awesome.

Could add other big cats, gar, whatever you prefer,

Awesome set up! Just a suggestion but I would incorporate a Pond UV clarifiier into the thing to cut down on the green water.

I found a company about an hour away that has channel cats for .50 cents a piece at around 3-4" so i'm thinking like 20 of them. Maybe 30 blue gill and minnows are 1k for 40$

its around 6500 gallons and i built the filters to handle 9k so i think it should be able to handle a decent number of fish

The green water photo is when i first started cycling the water through the filters. I am going to try to add more shade plants and actually cover a section of the pond to reduce the green tint a little more but now you can see all the way to the bottom of the deepest portion pretty clearly

Welcome! Starting off with the big guns...no pea shooters here!! Hahah!!
A pond that size could have alot of fish...I mean alot.....and big fish too. If heating this monster isn't an issue, then out some Pacu in there....maybe a few Plecos...or a few dozen....
