filter for 5 ft aquarium

[Gourami Swami]

If you can go for the 3 foot wide by 6 foot long, that will be much better. Still will be small but a 5x2 is much too small. The Bass can potentially reach almost 30" long. Arowana I would sell now if I were you, easy to sell when smaller and you can't house an adult.
You say sump is too much work, but when you are trying to pack too many large fish into too small a tank, the extra water volume would help a and do a better job than canisters which are actually more work to maintain imo.

In the end, it's your tank so do what you want, but I don't see the point asking advice if you don't want to listen to it.

I agree here too.
If you think a sump is too much work, then consider, that in such a small tank, with a can (what I consider substandard filtration) when your fish get near adult, you will need to be doing daily large scale water changes to keep water quality even close to adequate.
But as Gourami Swami said, its your tank.
So if you do what you want, I hope you continue to provide updates, that contradict our conservative advice.

Kelberi will be much better choice, and I think you will be happy you went with the sump. Very easy to maintain and adds water volume.
Update with pics when you get it, sounds like a nice setup!
