Peacock bass and Oscars

To answer the question and not bash on you for your "small tank", here in FL Oscars and Peacock share water all the time. Im sure they would be fine if introduced at younger ages. Im not sure how they will react seeing as they are full grown.

So what are you gonna do when the flowerhorns and oscars reach 12" and the arowana over 2ft. You need to do some research on how big fish can grow. Peacock bass can grow to 2-3 ft. Personally I wouldn't put them in a 4 ft tank but maybe a muppet like you would. I agree with the pond idea.
i can answer that question from real life experience.. i have 14 peacock bass and 2 oscars. the oscars don't get along with each other so they are separated, but both of them are in tanks with peacock bass and i have exactly ZERO issues with aggression between the Oscars and the Peacock bass in either tank.
And if your oscars and the gar are getting along in the tank they are in, and they have enough room to stretch out and swim, and if your filtration is adequate there is no need to change your set up in any big hurry. But they WILL eventually grow out of that tank and you'll need something LONGER, for the swimming room and wider for the turning around room, but it doesn't mean you need an indoor pond.
Just use common sense, if the fish aren't aggitated and they are healthy in that set up you're doing just fine. Start saving now for the larger set up you're most likely going to need.
