So the list of fish below are the compatible (this isn’t based off the tank size or anything this is simply in a large enough tank will they be able to live together peacefully and not kill each other :P )
I don’t plan on getting any of these fish anytime soon (soonest I’ll be able to do a large monster tank is once I move out of home and I'm only 17 about to start college so that's a while off XD) I just like to plan years ahead for fun :)

Sorubim Lima

Datnioides Campbelli

Osteoglossum bicirrhosum

Lepisosteus oculatus

Ctenopoma acutirostre

Erpetoichthys calabaricus

Mastacembelus erythrotaenia

Polypterus ornatipinnis

Larger Synodontis sp
 
I think the rope fish and bush fish are gonna be an issue for you. They will be expensive bait in several months. Take those 2 out and the rest of the fish should be good in a large tank.

Cheers mate :3 yeah wasn't sure on those 2 (practically the rope fish)
 
Ctenopoma will likely become food eventually, and the Sorubim lima may get killed, unless purchased at or near adult size (12"+). I've had 4 S. lima get killed by tankmates after my several attempts to keep them. The last one was killed by a territorial Synodontis frontosa. I lost 2 to a pacu (killed), 1 to a silver arowana (eaten), and 1 to a Syno (killed). Smallest of these was 5", and largest (the most recent) was about 10".
