Funny you say that I had to separate them because one was bullying the other. So they will never get along if I attempt to put them back together when they're a little bigger?
they will still fight. you can get a tank cover that isn't too heavy for now since they are still small
Aro communities are a hit or miss.. they do best in odd numbers.. but there are ppl who have had success with two aros.. the domination i believe is mostly due to food.. the dominant one will push the other aro down so it can get all the food.. and yes, please get a lid now 
and prob another tank..rather than a divider..
and prob another tank..rather than a divider..Possibly, I have two silvers that lived fine together for a couple years as a pair. They now live in a community with two black aros. I was able to raise two small blacks together for a few months until one died. But these two examples are overshadowed by numerous failures I experienced trying to pair aros in other attempts. Coincidentally, one of my silver and one of the blacks now living together were a failed attempt when they were younger. Most important thing when trying to build/establish an arowana community is to be able to have the means to house the aro separately when needed.
Just an update....I reintroduced my 2 arros and put them in one tank and they're fine. They're both about 8" now and it's been about 3 weeks since putting them back together and no fighting. They would occasionally swim in circles and eye each other out, but thank got no fighting.
