If the silver arowana is under 10", he is still a nervous skittish fish. I would only keep the angel and bala shark with the silver arowana when the arowana is much bigger. Don't keep the catfish.

I have 2 tin foila barbs which are slightly larger in the tank with the arowana as well as 2 angels yet the tin foil barb only eats the leftovers of the arowana

Back in action!
Just be patient and don't overfeed the tank. An aro, even a young one, can go some time without food. You can remove the new tank mates but there's a chance you could upset the aro even more.

Are there some fishes that can help the silver aro to interact more, cos i fed the silver aro some pellets which he used to dig but now he does not even touch it
