My tank will be close to 300 gallons, what fish work well together? I definitely want a Black Arrawana. Would a clown knife, vampire tetra work well? Thank you!!
 
A school of 3-5 widebar schomburgkii, tiger datnoids, peacock bass alligator gar, golden dorado you should watch some YouTube videos to get more ideas :)

It’ll work. Would stick red tail payaras instead of scomberoides or armatus due to tank size.

Red tail payaras are smaller in size?? I never knew there was such a thing but does it cost more than a normal one?

They are more expensive but can reach the 14-16im mark. Manageable and won’t get eaten up like scomberoides.

Youtube is not the golden standard for proper fishkeeping of larger fish in general. OP, I wouldn't go searching on YouTube for proper tankmates in a predatory 300g standard tank,
