Shall i take out the nile bichir then? Thank you for your adviceeI'd say that's really heavy stocking. Stuff like senegal bichirs and angelfish will get eaten by a large lower jaw bichir.
Thin out that stocking a bit and it may be a bit easier
7 x2 x2 ...what to stock it with!?

I think the angel isn't a good choice for that tank. My thoughts are they need a bigger group and will be out competed for food. Fire eels fall a little bit into that category (as far as eating is concerned) unless you have trained it to eat among outer more aggressive eaters. Once it's eating, it should be fine.
Also, if you get a sail fin pleco be sure to sure to special feed it vegetables a couple times per week (or more if it gets large.)
That tank when full grown will have a large bioload, so if you aren't prepared to do large water changes (75%+) up to three times per week, reconsider your load. The pleco should be among the first to come out if you don't want that type of tank. That assumes the eel and assumes no giant gourami.
If you want to cut it down to one large WC a week, then skip the eel, pleco and gourami, and you should be close.

You also have 9 relatively large cichlids, that's something to consider too. I'd go all polys haha
I'd keep it simple. One RTGG and a group of clown loaches.
Okay i hear you, i will get rid of the pleco and giant gourami but could i keep the eel? And the angle would only be there cause all my fish from my 55 gal would have to go in the 210 gal tanks which is why the angle, fire mouth , blue acara, severum, and sengal bichir are on the list ??:but thanks for the tips
I see where you are coming from but i want the tank to be busy! Hehe
Yeh but then the tank would look so boring! Ahha gottta have fish covering all levels of the tank? Dont you agree
I say just get three fire eels and two vulture cats. That will look awesome. Lol
