It depends on the temperment of both fish, but I would wait untill they are bigger:)

I have had an oscar and an arowana together for years and the oscar occasionally tries to intimidate the aro then the aro backs him down. They are compatable for the most part and they never seem to harm each other

I'd guess that they should do alright. No guarantees though as each fish has an individual tolerance for certain tankmates.

Ive had a 16" oscar with various size aro's (small to huge) for the last 6 years.

the oscar has never killed any arowana.

unfortunately, my 24" rtg killed my oscar recently, (oscar ate its favorite food - superworm, and the aro went nuts on him.. sigh)

I tried once and my oscars ate all the food put in the tank seconds after it was in there so my arrowana didnt really get alot of food and died. I tried sneaking it in the back of that tank and stuff but my oscars are smart when it comes to getting food.

i think both of them should do fine but you have to keep an eye on them for any sign of aggression.
