5" Albino Clown Knife
3" Orange Pike
4" Wolf Fish
6" Florida Short Nose Gar
3" RTC
20 Cons (Breeders and feeders)
(2) 4-5" PBASS

I know that they will grow very fast, but would this be okay to start? Thanks for your 2 cents!!!

i wouldnt do 20 cons, maybe two males and two females so 1 pair on each side of the tank. your gonna need a very big tank so i wouldnt get the RTC because it will eat everything even if you think it cant.
 
Thanks BrownsFan! I wasnt sure about the RTC and the Wolf Fish (too aggressive??)
 
most of those fish will outgrow your tank in a short amount of time. the wolffish is very aggressive and probably should be kept by itself. the rtc will eat anything that can fit in it's mouth. the gar and clown knife will need at least a 2 foot wide tank.
 
clown knifes get bigger than 2 foot long, maybe you could get a black ghost knife? they dont get as big. but i heard the rtc's will eat things about the size of them.
 
I would definately skip on the rtc. When it outgrows its tank, you'll have a hard time getting rid of it. (It's one of the fish that shouldnt be so readily available IMO)
 
are you expecting to get a bigger tank son?:D
 
Yeah, I'm not going with the RTC anymore and the Wolf I may just have to put in my 75. Thinking of getting two Clown Knives, two PBass - possibly Azuls, and 2 Reticulated Rays and putting some fine sand in the bottom of the tank. Would there be any problems with sand and what has worked the best for any of you? I know that the PBass will outgrow quickly, and I'll have to decide to let them go or upgrade in about a year. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks everyone...I love this site!!!!!!!!!!!
