Damn, it really sucks to wake up one morning with you silver arowana all dried up on the floor. Thats what happened to me today, i had him as a baby of only 5'', grew him to 12''. This arowana i had a connection to, it would always come up to the tank and try to swim against it when I was appear. Arowana had probably knocked the glass lid into the water and jumped out sometime at night.

Well. my main question is, I've had a community tank.
spotted gar 12'', jardini6'', flagtail5'', 4 datnoids4'', texas cichlids4'',
and so. Do you think another Silver arowana would be tolerated by the Jardini, because he did tolerate the Silver, but they kind of grew up together.

Advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you
 
Your jardini isn't big enough to have considered being tolerent of any fish. Anywhere from 8-12" is when it is typical for jardini to go psycho.

With your current tank stock, I would not recommend getting another silver aro.
