ummmmmm so what type do u want but a lot get really big so u might want t get one of the smaller types. the fish u have get really big and depending on the fish they might get meaner
as they get older. it all depends on what personality your fish have. The bigger the fish more of a a personality they have and lager fish are a lot smarter than most fish and u better have a tight lid for your tank.

In general you'd need a 18" wide tank for bichirs. You also have a good amount of bottom fish, and it would be best to avoid another bottom dweller.
