i have not house them with those fishes you mentioned thus would not be able to advice.... but i house mine with aro, gar and knifefish....

yours are mostly cichlids and i keep my cichlids only with featherfin catfish... the cichlids can be quite aggressive, they killed my 10" ray

some gars can grow big, if you are interested in a gar, try looking for a spotted gar. They all look similar anyway but spotted gar max out at smaller size

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_gar

yes they can be together but ensure they are roughly the same size. The gar will grow faster than the arowana

When i first got my aro and gar, they were about 9 inches and 12 inches respectively. but now my aro is about 11-12 inches while my gar is bigger at about 15 inches

whats the actual size of your tank? 6ft x 2ft x 2ft?

having said all this, it also depends on the temperament of your fish but i always believe if the fishes are comm together when young, there is a much higher chance of it being successful
