i had a similar plan way back but i got some more negative answers but that was my fault for trying to put paddle fish and stergeons wich need colder temps with aros and such as far as your ideas keep it prehistoric take out the oscars and other "NEW" cics and id just go with aripamas aros and some bichirs
Keep the cichlids out! Remember catfish and tetras are technically prehistoric too (Jurassic), although more advanced evolutionally speaking.
I have two "prehistoric" tanks, they are a lot of fun...

I have an ancient tank (not quite as big as yours) with a bichir a gar a pike a clown knife and a rainbow shark.
the gar and the pike own the top of the tank
the clown knife owns the back
and the rainbow shark and the bichir live at the bottom and are excellent at keeping the tank clean of half eaten meals!
So to answer your question try to figure where these fish will idealy live then give a little space and A LOT of room to grow.

My ornate of 6 inches ate my silver arrowanna of 5 inches. I would also like to note that of the 5 types of bichirs that i have my ornate seems the most aggressive
gotta love em!
P.S. my 1st. post yeeeaaaah show em your a tiger!!!
your shark may be targeted at some point. if your looking for a cat, look at big synos. and if youve got the room, maybe a shovel. but that may be pushing it, (dont knwo how your tank looks). at my store we had gars and pikes for a while, both have amazing personalities, and grow HUGE. pikes get very very territorial though and will try to be the "king" of the tank at some point most likely.
