My friend attempted a Jardini community. He bought 8 Jardinis and put them in his 6'x2'x2'. Few days later, one dominant Jardini beat the rest up. The other 7 was hiding in the bottom corner of the tank. 
The only successful Australian Aro community that I've seen is in Japan. The tank was prob around 20000g+, it had alot(30+) of monster(24"-30"+) Leichardti and Jardini together. Too bad the pictures don't work anymore, can't show you.

Had 8 jardinis before in a 210g tank just all jardinis as I could afford asian aros back when I was in high school. Started from 4" and was able to grew them to 18". Nipping and flaring still occurred but none was killed but had to sell the rest as I only kept the best looking one which was the last jar that was in my tank before. Managed to grew it to 24" and when I started my arowana world comm last year it was killed by my 14" Tong yan asian aro which is now at 22" and in the comm tank.
The jar comm setup could be a hit or miss.

I have a jardini in a tank with other fish (no other jars)..It's tricky business to find tankmates for a mature jardini. I couldn't imagine trying to house 5 together.. I'm not saying that it would be impossible to do,given a large enough tank/pond, but the odds aren't in your favor--especially with the tank dimensions you quoted.
For the most part jardini are solitary fish. They will kill a tankmate for no other reason than to watch it die. I've been very lucky with mine but that is one jardini. You said you are getting five? Out of those 5 odds are you may have one passive jar if any..
I'm interested to see/hear how this turns out.
Good luck,

I believe those are Koji's RTG.
