In short no, most on that list will grow too big for a 100 gallon tank (US or imperial). The clown knife, endi and tire track eel will outgrow the tank for sure. The lima's, siamese tiger fish and ornates have the potential to outgrow the tank - and given the right conditions will. The only fish on that list that will fit in the tank for certain is the hoplo cat, the black ghost knife has mixed reports on max size, however you should be able to keep it in that tank for some years atleast.

There’s also a problem with temperament. The clown knife will kill the black ghost. The tiger fish will probably eat the hoplos and maybe the tire track eel.
The black ghost, tire track and hoplos would be fine together.

The P.e.endlicheri should outgrow the tank they have the potential to reach 30'' tho 24-27'' in captivity is more common -Anne

I keep a clown knife and black ghost together and there have been no issues so far the clown being 15 inches and the BGK about 9 inches. Tey occupy different areas of the tank and the Bgk shares a pipe with afire eel and he comes out at lights out and forages for food where the clown tends to waft round the tank looking for food at the surface

I do not doubt though that the clown could have a bad day and snap as they do appear moody buggers and have the tools to do some damage

The following fish my mate has had...
CKF
Tire Track.

This leaves

2 Polpterus
1 Siamese Tiger Fish
2 Soribem limas
1 GKF
1 Hoplo

I would like to add one other fish to my collection. Preferably a daytime compatable

Any Ideas

Heres what you do, you sell me the endli then get a few smaller poly's like palmas or sens they are active during day or dels would also be a good idea but less active
