I would say you are pretty much on the edge right there. With 2 oscars alone that requires around 100 gallons.

I'd ditch the parrots, they will make your tank look kinda weird. I'm biased against them though, really don't like that type of hybrid. Flowerhorns are iffy, but at least they have a body that allows them to operate and live normally. You thought of adding any Viejas (Paratheraps)? Like Vieja zonatus...my personal fav. The arowana is gonna be one of your main limiting factors as it will grow faster than a lot of the fish and has a very large potential for eating them. Also, spice up the silver dollars, get some red hooks, black bar, or even some fei feng...flagtails...;)

i would love some vieja Paratheraps but will they be too agressive and kill the arowana???
