It can work but you'll need a bigger tank than either of the 2 in your signature. Not only do those look fairly full as it is. 2 aro's would need a lot more room than those tanks can provide.

Im looking at a 7x2.5x2.5 next year, was just interested as i can get a 4" silver quiet cheap. Thanks for the heads up though.

should ad that extra .5in on your height to make the tank 3 feet deep. would be better for the aros.
 
I disagree, the width is far more important for the aro than the depth.
 
Yes I currently keep 2 silver and 2 black aros together in a 96x36x30" tank. Height isn't as important but I wouldn't recommend under 24", the taller 30" tank is more aesthetic though.

You need to be prepared to separate your arowana if you do try to grow up together. One black and one silver that I have now would not live together when they were 12-16". So your combo may or may not work, or it may even take numerous attempts. Just remember you need to be able to separate them at a moments notice.
