Triggered aggression.

Happy to say that i received my 2 new additions to the tank today. good acclimation to the water and off they go. my 2 inch tiger oscar stays on the left side of the tank and the 2 inch arowana stays to the right. maybe just feeling out the tank. arowana likes the top water and oscar more of a bottom dweller. so feeding time comes and the oscar goes crazy any flake that gets near the aro he is in definite attack mode, but after all is gone its like the round is over and back to their corners. was hoping to bring these two up together but im not sure if this little guy is going to go for that. any help on what i should do or try. or would it be best if they were seperated.
here is a picture of the two...

Is that tank just going to be used as a grow out tank for the arowana?

yeah going to get a 250 end of this year for them both if not bigger. im thinking i may hve to reinforce my floor. only reason i havent gotten a bigger one yet. and plus this tank is in my bedroom and i want the 250 to be in the main room and keep this one for smaller and new ones.
