i have a 125 (i know, too small for an arrowana longer term). currently it has a 12" spotted gar, and an 8" tiger oscar. that's it. the only other fish i'm even looking to add is a green terror at some point. i have a chance to buy a 16" or so silver arrowana but i am not because it's too large already for my tank. however, there are also some in the 5-7" range. i really want to get one, at least for a while. my question is, will a 5-7" arrowana be ok with the other two fish? my gar and oscar leave each other alone completely, but an arrowana is going to be really feathery/thin at that size, although i know it will grow quickly. thanks.
 
Never know how it’ll react but I’d wait and get a slightly larger aro about the same size as the gar.
