The bristlenoses, Kuhlis, and Rainbow shark should be fine.

THe silver sharks, clown loaches and ghost knife need a tank that is at least 72" x 24" x 24".

Silver sharks need at least a 6' tank. Clown Loaches can get up to 16" and need a tank wide enough to be able to turn around. Ghost Knife can get over 20" so you need a tank at least 20-21" tall.

The 55 Gallon will not work in the long run. Perhaps for a a few months until you can get a bigger tank. Otherwise, if they are small now, plan on returning them to your LFS once they all get a little bigger.
