A baby arowana in an aggressive tank = loss of money. They can reach 3' too, do you plan on upgrading, or is this your first tank? To start, try not to mix african and ca/sa cichlids, as they have different requirements for a lot of things. Also, Oscars can get 15" atleast, and can get very territorial with other oscars, and tankmates. The only options I see that will work in that tank would be the jd and the sal, those 2 could probably work great together, and I wouldn't advise adding anything else besides a small cat or something for bottom cleanup, dithers.. The red terror could be fine in there for a little bit, but they do grow fairly large, especially males, and in a tank that size more than likely would not tolerate any tankmates.
My first 60 gallon tank. Any ideas?

u probably should stick with only one south american. the dempsey with an oscar would be too much and dempsey with two oscars is a real disaster. just the dempsey would be best if thats what u already have. if ur planning on not putting him in there and want more fish, then maybe two salvinis by themselves would work. but not multiple dempseys and oscars

Red Terrors grow to like 50cm (Males) and like 30-40cm(Females) So they won't fit in a 60G either unfortunately!
i would stock with like a pair of a SA chiclid.
Or like 20 exodons.
or listen too the other suggestions. you need a bigger tank if your want to have everything you stated dude. gl with your tank

Unfortunately, as many have said above a 60g is too small for everything - especially the arrowana and the oscar.
Also, it can get tricky keeping ca/sa fish with africans due to the different water specifications they need.
Either go for smaller fish or consider getting a bigger tank.

Thanks everyone. You guys are right I don't think I'm going to get the arowana and for now I think ill just do the Dempsey and some cichlids.
Does anyone know a good website to buy fish at?

i think you should get rid of the african and just leave the JD in the tank alone
and by your avatar picture i think you should get natural colored gravel or sand instead of really fake looking blue gravel
