2 questions how big do the ornate pims get and would a flat head work?

The Flathead wil definitely eat the oscars, and probably the arowanas, too.

I'd suggest a Channel Catfish as well. I've kept them in ponds with Koi and other natives before and I've never had an issue. They are easy to train on pellets and you can even get them to eat out of your hand if that's your thing. Plus they are cheap lol
