Leporinus and climbing perch

My wife decided to buy me a couple of fish for fathers day a Leporinus and what seems to be a spotted climbing perch. Now I need to know if i am going to be able to house these guys ...I have seen the Leporinus in the store and they say it will get 6 inches but reasearching on web says 1 ft
Guess ill just tell ya my tanks and see what you think
(they are in quareenteen right now )
55 gal
1 gold guarami
3 opaline guarami
9 tiger barbs
2 upside down cats
6 neons
2 paradice guarami
6-7 otto cats

180 gal
4 tinfoil barbs
2 green terrors
4 parrot fish
3 nicarauguans
2 pictus cats
9 synodontis cats (get about 4 inches from what ive read )(false cuckoo)
1 yellow lab
1 julie
(yes i know its a bad mix but I inherited them with the tank )
It also had 4 malawi eye biters that i sold to a lfs
so far no problems but im watching

so can i keep these guys or not ? they are bot cool fish and i would like to make it happen but will return them if I really need to

thanks

They do get to 12". If you check here you'll find pixs of a 55g tank somewhere that a newbie inherited. Had almost or full grown leo and several other fish in it. Leo looked too big for the tank. If I get a chance I'll look for it and post it here.
