1x Tyre track eel **** Wiki: "Mastacembelus armatus can reach up to 36" (91 cm) in its natural habitat but does not usually exceed 20" (51 cm) in captivity". Tig would have a problem trying to eat a 3' eel - it is thick. 20-incher - possible.
1x Fire eel *** Wiki: "The fire eel can grow to a very considerable size in the wild with specimens often exceeding 1.2 meters (3.9 ft) in length. However, due to limiting factors in the captive environment they usually reach a maximum of around 55 centimeters (22 in) even in very large aquaria." Same here - a tig would not eat a 4' eel. 22-incher - possible.
10x Clown Loach *** Wiki: "Information about the maximum size of the clown loach varies, with some estimates ranging from 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm), and with typical adult sizes ranging from 7 to 10 inches (18 to 26 cm)." A foot-long clown loach cannot be eaten by a tig due to the scalpel-sharp spines under their eyes.
1x Flagtail Prochilodus *** Max size ~17" total length. Not sure if a tig would try. I think not.
2x Scarlet Plecs
2x L114 Plecs
1x Synodontis Ornatipinniss *** 20" max total length. Will not become tig's food.
1x Synodontis hybrid
As for the tank size, please, consider these:

... keeping in mind that tigs need extra swimming room and are a very rheophilic fish.
haha I agree they rock but I don't want him to eat my other fish!

My tig has taken 6 years to get to near 30"
So you have time
Tigs grow fast to 14-16" then they slow right down and bulk up
Clown loach grow very slow so that will be a problem
Tigs do hunt smaller fish but they are bad hunters I have a 9" tiger/dat in my tank mine is always snapping at but he never gets it
Mine is also fine with rays
You seam to want a lot of fish that live on the bottom
Maybe you should think about fish for the other levels
