Working in an aquarium store, I hear of odd combo's every time. However, one will forever remain the undisputed champion. This guy tells me he's got a 10g, so I anticipate walking him over and showing him some livebearers or neons and the like. WRONG! He's got this thing already stocked-silver arowana, fugu puffer, mbu puffer, red belly piranha, gibby pleco, some platys, and a tsn. I had no response...I just stood there scratching my head.
u should hav soaked tt guy's head in the tank
 
i had a norther pike, gold piranha, red bellied piranha, needle nose gar, jack, dempsey and a tinfoil barb. all in a 75. it worked out for awhile as long as they were fed everyday.
 
In my much younger days I had 6" goldfish with some cardinals... The odd thing was, the goldfish never ate the cardinals...
Luckily for my fish, I never got into the bigger more aggressive fish until I got older.
 
I also work at a petstore, and I had a customer come in and Wal-mart had sold him a 5 gal with an oscar, a comet goldfish, a pictus catfish, a pleco, and some neons!! He very quickly upgraded to a 75 after i told him what would happen and is now looking into an even bigger tank!
 
my worse combo was keeping my 2.5incher feifeng fish(i bought it at $20!) together in my 4 feet tank with my stingrays and tigrinus catfish, one night i on the light to do a spot check, and saw half the fei feng inside the tigrinus catfish mouth. Quickly saved it and put it in a 2feet tank, but it died a few days later. damm that was one expensive feeder..
 
mine was gold fish and tetras........next day , 0 tetras, bloated goldfish.....LOL......was young that time......
