The only thing I can think of is exodons. Red hifin or purple wolf but they're loners. Its tough because you need space for predators so 5 is going to be hard

How do you feel about spotted congo puffers? You can mix them with others and they accept tank mates. Maybe ropes but they are escape artists asking with getting long although thin.

its final i will go for bichir, i will keep one
as i read an article about it i only can keep one bichir, then what esle i can keep as tank mates ???? predator fish ????

Conspecific aggression may occur, but not too bad usually.
You could put two regular and two albino bichirs in the tank.

Looks like a mystus catfish.
Are there some fade stripes on his sides?
Then it is a Mystus tengara...
