I'm assuming with the other fish that you have listed there, that you realize how big the red finned cigar shark gets, but just in case you don't, here's a picture of one in a tank full of 6 inch frontosa and other big fish....

barbie nice picks are you breeding your frontosas?
I noticed a Leporinus fasciatus was it being aggressive?
