Depends on filtration but id say a 300 is big enough for these guys as for the compatibility ya got me there

The green terror could be a problem (aggression with other stock), then again, it could be just fine with the rest of the stock; you never know until you try it out.

Other than that and the loach growth rate mentioned above, everything seems to be in order.
 
I'd ditch the Green Terror and replace with a Blue Acara, similar looks, less aggression.
 
I've personally never had issues with GT aggression. I'd try it first and if he it's a problem, then remove him. It sounds good to me. I would just start with a smaller aro.
 
I've always heard that black arowanas can grow up to 35 inches and need a 480 gallon tank. Also the black arowana may attack/eat the green terror. And you may deal with a lot of territorial aggressions between the fish. As for compatibility, I don't see it working as the fish you picked require different temperature and pH levels than the others. And all together the tank will be over stocked but it depends on your filtration too. But don't listen to me im still pretty new to fish keeping.

With an aro it's more about foot print than gallons. 8x2.5 is a really good footprint (obviously bigger would be better) I see no problem keeping the aro in that tank. As far as the ph requirements being different, none of the fish listed are extremely picky and it should be fairly easy to find a common ground. Same goes for temperature. And imo the GT is no more likely to be eaten than the rest of the stock. And lastly as long his filtration Is decent I wouldn't say this is at all overstocked.

I was just saying what aquavisor said. I honestly don't know anything about arowanas.
