hi i have a 20 inch p-niger that is in a 360 gallon tank with 4 megalodoras irwinis (9 to 12 inches) and 2 pterodoras granulosus (both 10 inches). the tank footprint is 8 feet x 3 feet. i realize that eventually i will need to get rid of a few fish or get a bigger tank . do you all think a 480 gallon (8 feet x 4 feet) would handle all these cats ?the reason why i ask is i can have the 480 built for an extremely good price that will not last very long as the sale will end soon . but if i still would end up having to get rid of some cats i am not sure if its worth the trouble and money . what do you all think ? thanks !

Nope. Ideally, you would need a tank of at least 800 gallons to house all those cats in reasonable comfort.
