Not sure if you've got the fish yet, but if that's the timetable you're looking at I wouldn't get the O's or knife yet...get your synos, severum, and eel and grow them; if you get the CK and O's now they'll outgrow that 55 in 9 months, a year tops.

4 Oscars
1 Clown knife

The oddball tank would include:
1 Clown knife
1 fire eel
several various plecs
1 severum
several various synos
Either one that is chosen, these fish will be housed in a 55g with 1000GPH filtration, than be upgraded to probably a 150-180gallon tank.
I am torn between the two!!!
i would do the second one.
Fire eel will also outgrow a 55 in approximately a year depending what size you get it at. both it and the CK will need more 'n 180 gallons imo. minimum for those fish would be a 220. You will also need to maintain pristine water conditions as fire eels are rather sensitive to ammonia/nitrites. You plan on getting alot of big fish that grow quick. I have 3 fire eels and an O in a 40B atm and after less then 6 monthes they need their upgrade.
I would seriously consider if you have the money, and dedication it takes to house all of these monsters. Fire eels are also very finicky eaters and may pose a challenge in the feeding department.

Love the oscar idea. Can't go wrong with an Oscar. I've always wanted a fire eel, like the red in them. Scratch the pleco and go with a catfish of some sorts.
The oddball tank would include:
1 Clown knife
1 fire eel
several various plecs
1 severum
several various synos
Personally scratch this idea. The first two fish are fine but more than 1 pleco is boring to me at least. I've had a sev before, their too docile for me. Add a Oscar to spice it up or any fast moving fish that moves around alot and you will be set
Just my .28 cents.

I don't know how an Aro would do with an Oscar but I've always wanted one so I go with this combo.

I hear discus need near perfect water conditions, to much of a hassle for me. I wouldn't want them to die just because I skipped a WC. If you can keep up with them though, then go ahead and get them they do look amazing!
