Sabertooth barracudas????

Big catfish and silvery fish that look like bait are always something to keep a very close eye on. If the TSN doesn't give you trouble your tank setup itself should be fine.

And do scombs need powerheads I have been looking to get some but I have no clue what the Gph would be adequate

 

[Chicxulub]

They need current but it doesn't have to be crazy powerful. If they don't have sufficient current they can develop slime coat issues. One 750-900ish gph powerhead on either the left or right wall should be sufficient for the scombs, and the TSN would likely appreciate it too. The bichir should have a way to get out of the current, such as a hiding spot.

And would a stronger power head be better for them???

 

[Chicxulub]

I've got 4000 gph in my 150 and my scomb loves it. River dwelling characins seem to me to not be able to get too much current. More is better for them, but maybe the catfish and definitely the bichir won't like that much current. You should be fine with one 900ish gph powerhead but you can do more if you want.

tsk tsk. I would rather get a tat. scombs IMO suck cuz they are pretty much time ticking money bombs. After less than 1.5 years they die.

Are armatus the same way?

From what research iv done, armatus don't follow the same death trend as scombs do. But they get bigger and cost a little more.

Tats fit the same size and care info I've told you about scombs. It's very rare to see one over a foot.
