red wolf fish or payara (scom) or both?
 
My advice: wait until you rehome the channel and largemouth before you start getting more fish for this tank. They will more than fill the 120 by themselves, and their temperature preference is not compatible with the other fish you listed. Yes, they can take tropical temps for some time, but they do much better in the 60s and 70s.

So, put the largemouth and channel in the 120. Move everything in the 10 gallon to the 55. Once the bass and channel cat are big enough, move them to the pond, then figure out what should go in the 120.

I think you're being quite a bit too ambitious for the size tank you have. I know you want to keep every cool fish you see, just like the rest of us, but you've got to be realistic. They won't all fit in that tank, and the ones that will can't all be kept together.
 
ok
 
why didn't you keep the cuvier bichir...you could get other types of polypterus or a rope fish? i think from other guys and from what i've read that you could keep a lima shovelnose. they're not supposed to get any bigger than 24" assuming you have a rectangle 120G aquarium.
