lungfish 18"
tiger shovelnose 9"
feather fin 8"
feather fin 5"
paroon shark 10"
parrot fish 6"
salvini 6"
fire mouth 5"
hoplo 5"
bristle nose 5"
plec 12"
asian knife 9"

What other catfish tankmates could be added and who in my tank would pose the problems most?

your tank is allready pretty stocked soo i would leav it at that
 
I'd say you could use a few more tanks and thin out those monsters. You have some fish in there that can get as big as your entire tank. I'd be afraid for some of your smaller fish in the near future as well. Tsn and Paroon get huge. Maybe you already realize that though. I don't even have that many fish in my 1,100 gal heated indoor pond. If you would like a detailed response just ask, but I can tell you now you are not gonna like it. It involves a much larger tank than what you have now. If you really want to add, you should definitely add a much larger tank. Then you can keep many many catfish, but in your current settup I'd say don't get more fish get more tanks lol. JMO. Welcome to MFK btw. Have any questions feel free to ask there's plenty of veteran fishkeepers here.
 
Ok then the question is what size tanks? how many? and put who with who in what tank? if that makes sense :p im only 17 so i dont know if ill be allowed more tanks, ill give it a go though.

well how wide is your tank? plus the one you have you really only need one tank but it needs to be big the Tiger can get 4 feet so you need a tank about 3 feet wide minimum and about 8 feet long but you may need a tank 5feet by 10 feet depending on how big the TSN gets
the paroon, tiger shovelnose ,knifes, and your lung will all out grow your tank so in a new tank you could house alot of catfish the same size or other fish to big to be eaten none of the big fish you have are very aggressive so you have alot of options
