I'm not sure but some obvious reasons to Me would be dominance, territory, and natural aggression i might be completely wrong but just giving you some possible reasons and to your comment earlier ...honestly i like silvers better idk but to me there very elegant gentle giants.. true monsters

Keeping silver aros in pairs only works about a third of the time, so consider yourself lucky.
Wow my biggest one always been real cool , when I got the small one the big one use try punk him , so I moved him to other tank til he got bigger , then the small one start attacking my small flowerhorn ,so I had toss him back in 180 with big guy, n this was last year ,n all good ,hope it stay that way

Could be that they are M and F but no way to really tell. I have two silvers that have lived peacefully together for near 6 years. The first couple of years they were just a pair, then I moved them to a new tank and added a black aro. No issues, with the three I then added another black and the four have been fine for about 3 years. I even had a 5th in the tank for a couple weeks while I was finding him a new home.
You won't know if a third will work or not unless you try it. Just make sure if you do decide to attempt, that you have a separate tank to move one of the arowana to if things do go bad. If you do decide on a trio, I would recommend having at least a 450g 96x36x30" tank. This is what I have mine in and although I believe it is a bit cramped for my four 30" aros, I think it would be comfortable for just three.

Really if they are fed well , they shouldn't fight. At least mine are like that. They only fight if I skip a day of feeding. All the other times nothing happens.

Problem is your advice is limited to only your experience. Unless you are implying that all of the hundreds of failed pairings are due to all of them being underfed.
