Like to put in a dorado, african tiger,artc, mala wolf in 240? Don't wanna do it unless it's safe.
Possible to mix?

It may work, for a very short period. People have commed Dorado, atf, and mala in massive tanks, but in a tank this size it won't last long. Atfs are very fragile at a small size, the wolf, mala or artc would destroy it. Also artcs are very aggressive, and as they use the bottom of the tank most, it would fight the mala, and depending on which is bigger and wants it more , one would most likely die. Take out the artc and there's a small chance, but all these fish are known for there aggression. One fish snaps and you got an expensive accident.
Ok, sounds right about what you saying. I'll keep the artc(my favorite) for the bottom. If atf is weak than I don't want it. How about dorados on top? Or barracudas? I need something fast an aggressive on top.
Dorado are fast, and need a huge tank as they grow. The general thinking is the two species that are mostly available, s.brasiliensis and s.franciscanus, s. Brasi is more tolerant of tank mates. Check out DB junkie threads on his monster tank. But if you try and keep the artc you may only have the Dorado and artc, but if that's the case you'll need a truly massive tank for them

A 240 might work for the Mala or Artc, but that's too small for Dorado or Atf in my opinion.
Get Brycon instead of Dorado and the Wolves would still work. FW Cuda and Wolves won't work. Cuda are really sweet but can't be kept with the more aggressive preds like ATF, Dorado, and Wolves.
Wolves, Brycon, and Odoe would be a sweet combo for a 240. Or could go more delicate, do Cuda, Pink Tailed Chelceus, try to find some Cynopotomus, red tailed Payara, rocket "gar",needle fish all over a bunch of freshwater morays.....
