Could a Florida Gar and Silver Arowana live together in a 180, also with an oscar, red-tail catfish, peacock bass, and a wolf fish?
 
At one point, I had 2 Floridas, 2 oscars and 1 silver in a 125 gallon. I had no problems, at all. It's all about size and order of introduction of each fish, especially since oscars are territorial.
 
it could work for 1 or 2 years, but can't for the long time. 180 is too small for a silver and I've seen an oscar kill 2 bigger silver in the same tank before!
 
i have had oscar and gar together before, and aro and gar together before, really it just depends on the size of ur fish. obviously if u put a 4 inch gar or aro in with full grown oscar and most likely wouldn't work, but depending on the size of the fish they should be able to live in a 180 for awhile. i have no experience with wolf fish or peacock bass so not real sure on those
 
my gold crossback lives with three gar and they get a long fine... the arowana harasses them every once in a while but other than that its one happy family :)
 
would say no, silver aros tend to get much larger and spook the gars out.
