i have a 7 cm silver arowana and a 3 cm flowerhorn.. i have kept both of them in a 6ft l x 18" w x 15" h tank.. can this help in keeping them together as they are both kept toghether from such small size...can they stay peacefully till they mature...??
 
Sometimes it works out but raising together does not indicate peaceful relationship in adult hood. Cichlids especially become different fish after reaching sexual maturity and this is when the aggression comes out. People will site examples of it working but it is not guarantee.
 
I agree with Rivers. Make sure you have every possible opening closed up top cause a slight chase from the FH could cause the aro to jump out. Keep a close eye on level of aggression from the FH
 
I would not recommend it. Grow out the arowana properly, don't mix this type tankmate until the aro is 10-11" long.
 
agreed with above ^ ^ ^. Flowerhorn are beasts when older, if anything arowana should be grown out first
