Preditor tank questions

[M3AN ONE]

I am going to be getting a 210-265 gallon tank in the near future and wanted to put 1 austrialian arowana 1 black arowana 2 gars not sure wich ones yet 2-3 peakock bass 1 flying river turtle 1 shovel nose cat and some type of snake head looking fish.

Is there a specific order i should put them in the tank? I know they should all be roughly the same size but will they all grow at the same rate. Am i better of buying them all at around 4-6 inches or should i get them 60-80% of there full grown size? And how do you feed gars non living fish?

Catfish will grow faster and eat anything small enough, same go's for turtle.. Get the catfish second to last, and the turtle last!!!

Gars should be first with arrows second, peacock bass third TSN and turtle last. Do you intend to upgrade in the future?

Oh and welcome!

Thanks for the welcome and No 265 gallons is the biggest I plan on going That should be enough for all fish mentioned once full grown right?

What are the dimensions of the tank going to be? A 300 Gallon would be an ideal minimum to hold all those monsters (96L x 30W x 24H) with anything bigger being better. I would drop the Jar and TSN though. Jars are super aggressive and have the ability to nip/harass everything to death. TSNs will get way too big, if you are looking for a nice catfish that plays nicely with others get a Tigrinus, they max out around 2 feet and look awesome.

The dimensions would be 84 x 24 x 31 I thought austrailan arowanas for the most part only bother other arrowans?
I figure with the tank being 31 tall the arowanas will keep to themself.

/\ and Chizzle what kind of filtration system do you run on your 240 gallon? Im thinking of getting a reef ready set up

Im no expert on what your keeping but the 24" front to back might be a bit tight for some of your fish no?
