You know he will grow so much bigger than them. And to top it off, they don't discriminate with size. They will kill and try to eat damn near anything, regardless of size. And if it doesn't happen now, it more than likely will down the road. Also, that 55g will only be good for 2 aros and a TSN for a couple months. Every one of those fish I wouldn't keep in a 300g alone much less in a 55 together.

Welcome to the site, lots of info here. I'll start with some number one rule for beginners, research. Research all fish, If I were you i would return those fish asap.

Arrowana's are recommended to need tanks that are 3 times there length and atleast their size in width or something like that. (the grow over three feet so you need a 9ft tank by atleast 3feet)
Tiger shovel noses need a pond not suitable for normal people tanks. (anything under like 300g)
Snakeheads should only be by themselves they will kill everything and sorry to say again will outgrow your 55g.

Sorry to tell you but the tank is not suitable for those fish buddy, it will kill and hurt your wallet in the long run. Searching 55g stock list / ideas in the search bar for more fish best suited for your tank. Just trying to help with your research
