Hi members
First off this is my first post and am excited to learn from everyone here.
I just got a 240g (96x18x30tall) and it came with qty2 fx5 filters. I’m in Az and definitely have hard water and hope to use tap. My plan is to do 1-2” river rock size on the bottom with a large “log” piece of wood (manzanita). My inspiration is the tank at bass pro shops. Like the bottom of a lake.
anyway I need help on fish selection that won’t outgrow the tank. I’m hoping for maybe 4-8 large fish. I think my downfall on this tank will be the 18” front-to-back dimension but it is what it is.
so here are some fish I’d love to keep but I think some, if not all, will be too big. What are your thoughts and suggestions?

Arowana
Armatus Payara
Peacock Bass
Redtail Catfish
Knife fish
Gar fish
Iridescent shark

I’ll see if I can post pics. If so, I’ll post a pic o
