Welcome aboard
A small motoro species or the Hystrix stingray. The fish you mentioned won't be compatible except maybe large Angelfish or large Discus.

you have good dimensions to keep rays in, given the large depth and width. most freshwater rays you would be able to keep like black diamonds or pearl if you are able to afford. good size radius for breeding i would say. careful about the pleco, they may suck on the slimecoat of the rays. ropefish arent usually kept with rays, maybe get eaten. discus and angelfish are a hit or miss. may get eaten if too small. many people keep arowanas with their rays as they take different portions of the tank. one is top dweller while the other stays at the bottom.
