Looks as if you'll be getting a bigger tank.

You can start by getting a bigger tank.

A 3x1x1 ft tank is about 22.44 gallons... How long have you had those 2 oscars? Unless you get a bigger tank, one of your Oscars will die, which to me, is a lot worse than selling it. I don't even want to think what will happen when you put an arowana in there. He will outgrow it in a month. I currently have a 7 inch Tiger Oscar and a 7 inch silver Arowana in a 90 gallon tank and its already starting to look a bit cramped. Luckily though, I have a 8'x2'x2' comming in a few months after I throw out my old workdesk. Hopefully you have an upgrade rdy to go, because cramping these monsters in such a small tank is very irresponsible. Good Luck and keep us posted.

You need to do this not only before you get an aro, but before your oscars get any larger.....meaning NOW. Too small of a tank is unfortunately the most common demise of oscars. If you can't get a bigger tank immediately, you should consider getting rid of the oscars and starting over when you can get the appropriately sized tank. Especially if they're fighting.
