This is my story, i'm now 25 and when I was around 19 or 20 I dreamed of keeping a large home aquarium that would take up basically the entire wall of one side of my living room, since then I have had great luck and sucess in my line of business and finally have the money to accomplish this dream, I know it's somewhat pointless to post this to you but I just thought it might be interesting to some folks, ha! The plans are already drawn, I have nearly 11 guys working on this DIY installation, it is when measured and completed a 2500 gallon long tank the idea for the exact calculation of gallons was found on youtube when I found a similar or exactly sized tank, but I am not sure of how stocking plans work (more experienced in building,welding, and acrylic aspects rather then the fish, i'd hate after all this work,time,money and effort for the fish to be unhealthy or even unhappy. So me and my fiancee did a lot of research and came up with our list, i'd like to know if anyone experienced in monster fish and monster tanks could let me know if this list of appropriate, thank you. It bothers me since i see people posting here all the time about their big tanks..that they are likely lying in regards to having such a large tank but who knows..this is a legit question seeking real answers..
Here are the fish considered for this aquarium (planned sand substrate with large river rocks found in a nearby drained river, a couple plants here and there but not many...) can remove the rocks..if needed.
* 3 Iridescent Sharks (ALSO need to know if these guys bite, fiancee won't allow any fish that bite..yeah I'm a little whipped don't put it out this is about the fish.)
* 5 Flagtail Charicans (why is these look so similar to bala sharks..serious a question within a question)
* 6 Bala Sharks
* 8 Clown Loach (bottom dwellers)
* 1 Red Belly Pacu (they don't prefer schools as they age is what I had read so he'd be okay solitary)
* 6 Red Hook Silver Dollars
* 1 Silver Arowana
* 8 Discus (colorful variety)
[I am willing to add/remove fish as needed so say the arowana is too big I haven't purchased any of these fish yet so I can just nix it if it doesn't work into the equation]

Also in a seperate personal dining room tank which I intend to fill with only ANGELFISH seeing as they are much too delicate species for the monster tank i'd like to know how many can comfortably fit in a 40 gallon tall tank? Thanks.Serious question from anyone who is knowledgeable in monster fish and big tanks?
So... where's YOUR proof of having such a large tank? I mean, you are accusing a lot of people on here of lying, right? How do we know you aren't bullshitting us?Serious question from anyone who is knowledgeable in monster fish and big tanks?
Iridescent Sharks are not bitey.
A red belly Pacu will out grow a 2500 gallon tank.
Discus do much better by themselves, put the Discus in the dining room and the angelfish will be fine in the larger tank. Just start with larger angels.
For my personal taste I'd loose the so called "Sharks" and the Clown Loaches and stick to Amazon fishes.The only Amazon fishes besides Pacus to avoid would be the Redtailed Catfish,and the larger Peacock Cichlids. There are a couple of pencilfish species that would fit your needs, I'd recommend more research.
