Show Me your monster tanks

[charles-n-charge]

I'm stocking a 200 gallon and need ideas for fish bad. My considerations are
Clown knife
Silver arowana
Red belly pacu
Florida spotted gar
African lungfish
Some type of large catfish
And a large Oscar

Out of those idk what to get for this tank. So please show me some pics of these fish or other exotic monsters to give me some ideas of what to do

Thanks

i think cichlid r the most interesting fish. should get them too.. but sounds like cool tank!

Everything sounds good, but Red Belly Pacu is going to cause chaos in there when it reaches 16''+. I have 5 in my 1,000 gallon pond and they still find trouble and limit me to what I can put in there.

get a black pacu too, those things actually look really cool

I'd avoid the pacu personally, they get too big and cause chaos darting around everywhere. Not fun when the fish is 18" plus in a 6 foot tank. Also, the African lungfish is a ticking time bomb, as it gets bigger everything else will get munched. I've tried keeping them with other fish, it goes okay until they get to 18-24" range, then things start dying. My 30"er must be kept alone.

If I were you, get a South American lung, they look very similar and are totally peaceful.

I'd get the clown knife, arowana, oscar and gar for sure. I've thought about having a lungfish myself, but I haven't bought one since they can have mood swings and can take off your finger with a single bite. You may want to think about getting a large eel like a tire track or fire eel or a large bichir like the ornate or endlicheri instead of a lungfish. I have a fire eel and ornate bichir in my 300 as a substitute for a lungfish since I think lungs are risky too their owners (me!). If you want a catfish, try a jaguar catfish, striped raphael or lima shovelnose.
