at the mo i have 3 oscars and a texas cichlid in with my bass and was thinking of adding a stingray but can anyone recomend anything else that might be suitable thanks.
 
Here are things I have as tankmates with my Pbass. Make sure they are of similar size tho so the pbass dont eat them and vice versa..

Silver Arowana
Sorubimichthys Planiceps
Oscar
Green Terror
Red Tail Catfish
Tiger Shovelnose

Once again its very important to get their tankmates at the proper size so they dont get eaten or eat the pbass....
 
In my big tank with my big Ocellaris (8 inches) we have 2 (breeding pair) of red bay snooks, 1 sliver arowana, 3 (4 in.) plecos, and 2 large blue crayfish.

Before the snooks started breeding we had 2 oscars, 2 angelfish and a redtailed catfish in the tank too.

The oscars and the redtailed catfish are in the 100 gal tank now, and the angelfish have doubled, there are 4 of them now in the 75 gal with 5 baby ocellaris that are growing out before they get to go live in the big tank with Dozer and the gang.
 
I'm thinking of getting a 375 gallon tank (96''x36''x25''Tall)

I'm going to get a black arowana and two florida gar. I was wodering, how many pbass I could keep with them? I really like P-bass but I dont know theyre full requirements.

with the aro and two gar, i'd say 2 pbass
 
So, if I kept one aro, and one gar, I could get three P-bass?

Would it be the same case with two gar?

I think two gar and some p-bass swimming about would look pretty rad.

Theres very little difference between 2 or 3 pbass. And with a 36" wide tank go for it. Just make sure you're filtration can handle it. :)
