So I met a person a few weeks ago that builds custom tanks, he builds wooden ones with a glass or acrylic front. So it got me thinking about if I could put most of my fish together if I had a big enough tank built. So which of the following could possibly go together and what size tank would be needed for it to work? I’ll group them as they are currently housed
Endlicheri
WC Senegal
Weeksii
Delhezi
2 Rhamphochromis- these are working out well with the bichirs, but I would move them to my rift tank in this scenario

3 pimelodus blochi
H. Frempongi

Rafael catfish
Red wolffish

So, any chance of keeping these all together with the right size tank? If so, what size wound you recommend?
I was thinking the 3 pims, the frempongi, and the bichirs and possibly another cichlid in a 7x2.5x2.5, but any other suggestions are appreciated and I think I could go up to 8 feet on the length
 
It looks like 8ft is off the table due to the slope in my garage. You think 7’ is good for the frempongi with the 3 pims and 4 bichirs?


How much of a slope and for how long? You couldn't add shims or even self levelling concrete underneath the 8ft tank?

Yeah I think 7 feet is fine. However, when the endlicheri grows to adult size, it may eat the other fish for lunch?

I’m not sure how much of a slop, it’s pretty slight. I thought about shims but figured I’d avoid the extra strain on a tank this size, I’m thinking i might go wider though
