Whats a cool fish for a 180gal? Along with a arowana, pacu and pleco? I want something that is interesting to look at with some hot colors? Also I dont want a stupid fish like a pacu that smashes into the walls when do sudden moments. I dont want a fish that gets bigger than 12" either. I want something that reconigzes me and the keeper. I'm thinking of a albino oscar, but I kinda want to move away from that amazon look.
 
you cant fit all those fish into a 180.

if i had that tank i would get either
1. peacock bass
2. lungfish
3. fly river turtle with some smaller cichids
4. leichardti arowana

if you wanted something to go with the fish you already have your going to need a bigger tank. a single adult silver arowana or pacu will be too much for the tank.

stingrays can be hand fed, a lot of people get bloodparrots to add color to their arowana tank if you dont mind the ethic issues of the parrots. put in some cichlids with your fish not oscars but something cooler like severums or acaras. they wont be as personable as the oscar though.
 
I think pike cichlids might be cool, or maybe bichirs.
 
No worries on the tank size I'm going to get a new plastic pond soon anyways. The arow and the pacu are both under 12inches so They still have alot of time to grow.
 
If you get a nice peacock bass, that tank would look awesome! A nice healthy PB will have bright yellows and greens on it.
