I found a silver arowana over a foot long for sale. i Want to get him but i only have one tank that would fit him and it is a 180 gallon but this tank already have a community of red devils and two oscars. anyone knows if it would be alright to put a silver arowana in there? thanks

Silver aros are peaceful compared to what you already have.
No need to force the aro to fights within that tank.

A 12 inch silver could easily be killed by that group of cichlids you have. This does not mean it would be killed. The 180g tank will only be able to properly house the silver aro for one maybe two years at most, are you going to be able to get a larger tank when the time comes?
Putting the silver in the 80g with the jardini is even more of a bad idea. Not only is the tank way too small for two arowana that size, the chance of them fighting is very high.

you would've had a better chance of success, if you'd purchased the 2 oscars and the silver at around the same size. but, to try and introduce a silver in with the 2 oscars, you're going to have a battle. the oscars will pick on the silver. as far as red devils go, i've never had one, but i hear that they are mean as a bucket of rattle snakes.
