It can be risky, especially since you already have two oscars. They might liplock or, even if they get along, the green terror could bother the arowana or gar—similar to what my cichlids did. I wouldn’t recommend it. Besides, your tank is already stocked on the heavy side.

Thats where I was leaning on no also I just like hearing other opinions on stuff like this.. luckily I have a automatic water removal and top off system so nitrates are at a constant zero which let's me get away with the heavy stock thankfully

I would be more concerned about diet and temps, green terrors do better long term in cooler water (closer to room temp) with less fatty diets as they are prone to bloating.
