What fish for 210 Gallon Tank?

[blacksnow]

I found a good deal on a used 210 gallon tank. Really thinking about biting the bullet and going for it.


I'd like to keep at least 1 possibly 2 arowanas (silver & black), and a teacup stingray.

What else could I throw in the mix? I'd love to have some large clown loaches, but I wouldn't want them to become lunch for the arowanas or stingray =O.

Thinking if I provided some driftwood for the loaches to hide they would be ok.

THoughts or suggestions please on some cool fish to go with the arowanas and stingray.

Thanks!

i may as well ask first what is the tank's dimensions?

large severums maybe(i have never seen that combo arowwans,stingrays and severums)just a thought

 

[blacksnow]

Tank dimensions are 6' x 2' x 31"

Bichirs would be good.. Since they are bottom-swimmers.

i would say only one arowana not 2 in that tank, and that if you want clown loaches you will need to find some really big ones from the start 'cause their growth rate isn't near what an arowana's is.

do you really want a 36" fish in a 24" wide tank
that footprint wont be good for aros or rays

I think he said he was going to get a teacup ray. A teacup ray should be fine in there, I wouldn't get any of the larger varieties, though. Can't speak to arowana, myself, as I have no idea
