Hmm, have you ever heard of eggcrate? If not then I suggest you research it, "eggcrate for fish tank". It would help them get used to each other without being able to get to each other.

Yeah. And unfortunately I’m falling for him... and considering putting him in with my silver aro... Which is scary enough, but also I have pomegranate sized silver dollars in the aro tank. I don’t wanna screw up my vibe in that tank but I really really really like him. Aro is a little smaller than him though. She’s maybe 12”? Ish?
Opinions?
I'd try it and seperate if you need to. If it was an alligator I'd say no as they are pretty nippy with silver fish. But I've seen lots of people have no problem with other gar and arowanas. Worst case it might tear a fin and you'll be able to seperate them it's not gonna kill it from one bite if it does go after it.

Should be ok with the aro, he's pretty skinny for a florida gar, so I doubt he was fed right.

And for goodness sakes be armed, can't save fish if your dead, viper is armed and guess what? He's one of 2 survivors out of maybe 200 people in his old neighborhood
