1 jardini arowana
2 leo ray
4 orino peacock bass
Assortment of various severums (6 or so)
1 tigrinus catfish
and an assortment of polys

How many gallons would i need and could this fish all get a along?

completely hypothetical but im bored
 
It would be a better idea to go with a black or silver aro. Jardinis often become aggressive.
 
Yup^. Jardini's usually start out all nice and cute then turn into vicious monsters! But it may not happen, kind of a gamble, but I like my Jardini.

i got mine at 4-5" and it was never nice. started picking on my 4 monos that were 4" on day 2. A week later i harassed one to death. If you decide to get a silver or black aro the minimum tank would be 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2-2.5 feet tall. If you got the leos as well you would need a wider tank.
 
Personally i'd go about 600-800 gallons, but others opinions may vary... Footprint will be more important than just gallons... 8'x3' minimum for the aro's, I want to build a 1000g in a couple years when i move to Tenn, will be stocking with 1-3 black aro's, P. bass, TSN, big poly's possibly some rays and a few dats, possibly a few gars too

My one was nice I got mine at about 10" and it was living with my then 2" and 3" frontosa's and a goldfish. Each fish is different I guess, but to be safe go with the silver or black aro.
 
For the aros, I think 300 wide is good(30 inch wide). 300T or 240(24 inches wide) will work for a long while.

Never kept rays so no comment on their requirements.
