Can we keep two super red arowanas

Most likely they will harm one another or stress each other out if left together for long. It is generally not a good idea to keep 2 in the same tank. If the tank were large enough you could use a divider.
I can't see the rest of your tank and you didn't post your water parameters, so I'll have to guess. I would guess your nitrates are pretty high (60-100 ppm) and that your water changes are too few and too small for that stock. That's based on your post and your picture.
So even if the fish get along, those are dire consequences.
I would up the changes to 50-65% weekly for now, although that might be low depending on what is in the tank that wasn't shown in the picture.

To answer your question, no, not in that little dinky tank. The consequences will most likely be health issues due to aggression and water quality, especially with the dinky little water changes that you stated. Gill curl, drop eye, bacterial infections, fun stuff like that. Good luck.
They probably battle over time and the bigger they get the more intense it will get. as for if they look healthy... They seem to be from your pics. Is there anything that makes you think they aren't healthy?
lol you will have no problem ridding yourself of a free arowana on this forum.
Not so sure about that, unless the members live in countries like the OP where chilli reds etc are legal...
But honestly, if kept in that tank i think time will take care of the extra fish...
