My question is how much space can you provide for the animals and plants? If you are thinking that you can make this work in a 55 gallon aquarium, you are mistaken. I say a minimum of 8'X8' area with half of that holding at least 12" of water. With that much water you can have water plants, a turtle, and plecostomus. Those three may be able to handle the bio load from the alligator. Its really going to be an experiment on your part to make it work. pH is going to be an issue and a challenge to keep all organisms happy.
