So in my 180 gallon tank i currently have a marble motoro about 5 inches (main fish), a silver arowana about 8 inches, a mono peacock bass about 8 inches, and a geophagus eartheater about 4 inches. Looking for some more tank mates. Any suggestions?
 
It sounds like youre pretty full already. If you add anything you may want to keep them on the small side.

lol i have 4 fish bro.... they aren't full grown. its a 180 gallon tank with excellent filtration and a uv sterilizer... pretty sure its not full haha
 
he isnt meaning now...its only a 180 and you have fish that are going to out grow it soon.

but as far as tank mates..i would get rays..of course.
 
agree with all the above comments, your 180g maybe enough for now, but not for long.
 
Here's what I have gathered so far...

Tinfoil barbs (all variants - twinbar, yellowfin, red tail,etc)
Silver Dollars (all variants)
Geophagus
Datnoids
Arowana
Bichirs (with caution)
Discus
Angelfish
Docile Cichlids
Gars
Dorado

the list goes on and on but with each it's a case by case situation.
 
Sounds like your pretty well stocked with some great fish by the way. My suggestion would be to just focus on nutrition and keeping everyone in the tank happy and healthy.
