One of the most important factors for keeping all of these fish in very close quarters successfully is feedings. Well fed fish will typically not try to feed on tank mates. Sometimes the fish don't care and will still eat the fish. Making sure the fish have driftwood, etc... for their own territories helps with aggressiveness. Keeping an eye on aggression or other problems is very important. It may be necessary to separate fish.

My brown bullhead did not like chaos in his tank so he would literally put the fighting sunfish in place. My yellow bullhead really liked my warmouth but would boss the bluegills. As long as you watch the behavior, keep head counts to see if there is predation in the tank, the tank should be successful.
