parrot fish 6"
salvini 6"
fire mouth 5"
hoplo 5"
bristle nose 5"
plec 12"

You could house one, but your bio load is very high for your tank size. You also should have a 6' tank as an absolute minimum for all species of aro. You will need to upgrade tanks very soon as it is, considering some of the species you are keeping currently.
 
if you plan to keep all those fish, then your looking a a very large tank, mainly becuase of the paroon. if you dump the paroon, you'd be able to get away with a 8x24"-3)", for the ts cat, and some larger aro's, ie silvers or blacks
 
actually in the end there might just be 3 of them to take care of .. a pleco, a tiger shovelnose, a paroon shark ... that's not too bad
