I was wondering if any type of crawfish/ shrimp/ crab could co-exist. I really like the electric blue crawfish but had heard two different things.

Um, I would say no, but it's a 50/50 chance thing though. I have heard many stories of the guy's/
gal's crayfish grabbing and killing and eating slow fish, sick fish, sleeping fish, bottom dwelling fish with long flowing fins. That being said, I would not recommend you getting a crayfish. It's possible to keep one with your current fish, but I personally do not like to risk the life of fish, and if I were you, I wouldn't risk your Ghost Knife's life, as I know they are not cheap.
Also, just a quick-e thing on your current stock. You probably have heard this before, but your Ghost Knife is going to need a 100 gallon or larger tank when fully grown. Yes, I know the pet store says a 55 gallon is good enough, but it's not. If you do not get a bigger tank for it as it grows larger, its growth may (And probably will) stunt, and there is a possibility of premature death. Just a thought, take it or leave it.
I sure hope the Leaf fish will get along with all your other fish as it gets older, I have heard of its aggression issues.
Hope I helped a bit!
