Any pond mates for these fish?

Hello, it's a large mud pond in my grandma's land. It's about 20,000 gallons. There are bunch of iridescent sharks in there, a few paroon sharks, a redtail catfish, a tiger shovelnose, a wallagonia micropogon and a goonch catfish. Are there anything that can co-exist with these monsters?

He can, but first we need to consider how low the temperature gets in that area and whether there are any potential predators that could easily hunt surface-dwelling fish like arowanas and arapaimas, especially when they are small.

Yep, there's no monitor around there, nor snake, only birds, and since I'm living in Thailand, I don't think the temperature is much of a problem here, besides the winter.

I have a 12 inches alligator gar at the moment. He's ruthless when it comes to smaller fish, my silver arowana which was around 7-8 inches got eaten by him, and he vomited it out the next day.

Nah, that was back when they didn't live in a pond.

but tbh, they started out at the same size, but alligator gar's growth rates was something else. I've never seen any fish that was growing THAT fast.
