i know but how big of a tank would i need to keep them
and Schilbe intermedius swims in the middle portion of the tank
 
I wouldn't like to say. Ive never kept any of them personally so all I'm going on is size not behaviour. Though ive heard the tiger loaches are aggressive. What is the biggest tank you can manage? You are probably best going with that and then fitting the fish to the tank. The eels alone would probably warrant bigger than a 6x2 footprint. Ive seen some real monsters on youtube. You also need to figure in hiding places for everyone. With all those caves you sre gonna be short on swimming space. Unless you are planning on a totally bare tank?
