Hi i am wondering if i can have arowana silver 20cm with 11cm channa striata in same tank
 
Absolutely not.
If your channa is not dead before it reaches the arowana size (if he even eats with the stress of such a big fish), your arowana is soon going to miss bits and pieces.
 
Ouch.. what i can keep with my striata? He ate a polypterous tho..
 
Rocks make good tankmates. I have a freind who kept a blood parrot with some kind of channa for 5 years, but I thtink it was some kind of miracle, as he said it would even attack plecos.

He was extremely lucky mate. My small fella is a badass and he attacked everything..my x2 bigger oscar and my vieja felt it..Now he is in a (small) 240L juwel rio but he is juvenile and the tank is 1,20. I ll rehome him at September in a 9ft tank. But in a 9ft can he have some tankmates?
 
Not a Striata, but my brother once put a 6 inch silver arowana in with a 6inch micropeltes. The arowana was found half in, half out of the micro, both dead!
 
I talked with a friend who works for 10 years only with channas and he has shop in Malasia with them and he said that striata can live alone and only..
