I liked alot of the ideas.. But it seemed more like and arguement than ideas Is my tank large enough to house a group of Erpetoichthys? And would they eat or fight with my group of 3 Eupterus there are about 10 - 13 centimeters?

Yes min tank size is 90x45x30 cm they can get up to 16 in long. And no they should be fine with them
