The Curupira would be roughly 7ins and my smallest bichir would be bout 5ins.

It shouldn't be a problem. I have three Aimara with 8 bichir in one tank, and another Aimara with 50+ bichir in another tank, and there's no issue between them. A local buddy also have curupira with bichir, and there's no problem.

it looks like your tanks are overstocked...hence preventing any territorial issues (which might be another problem? But mine isn't as in there's lots of space and more or less one good spot to hide only. Putting in more hiding spots would just make the tank look small and cramp-ish.
 
to me, its a super bad idea. you'll need a hge tank!
 
Each Wolf is different some will get along some won't. I had gotten a 10+ Wolf on trade tried to keep it with some bichirs that were longer them him also with some other fish that were also bigger. He immediately attack violently any fish that came within 5" to him. Previous owner said it was peaceful I couldn't keep him with any fish I ended up trading it away.
