ATF grow out question

I've a FATF that I've had about 8 months now. Its about 10-11" and I got it at about 7" I think.
Lives with 3 similar sized gar I have been growing out and a royal knife and Payara also growing out. No issues whatsoever with it biting chunks out of anything nor did my bigger older Vittatus do that when in my bigger mixed predator tank. I find ATF to be very active and tend to avoid everything else
I would have no issues with keeping gar and bichirs with it as long as they are not so big as to class it as prey as both I have found to be very predatory when it comes to smaller fish

That’s the thing as of right now they are around a foot and larger in size with the gar being the largest thing in there. Would he be fine with tarpon, and an arowana?
The only thing stopping me putting mine in my big tank is my 20" arowana cos he is a knob for attacking new fish particularly anything silver
But he should be fine with the tarpon and the marijuana because they’re all around the same size?
yes but dont be surprised if the aro attacks it if its an asian aro
That arowana will outgrow and kill the ATF as they’re much slower growers
