I am planning 6ft long 300g tank

I want to keep the following
1 silver arowana
1 oscar
6-12 angel fish

From what I read online this will probably work, but does anyone have any experience with all of these fish together?
 
So from what I have been reading, the profile of the angel fish makes it not look like something the arowana or the oscar would normally attack

Yea I wouldn’t worry about the Oscar in my experience oscars aren’t as aggressive as most people think obviously there are exceptions, though I think that normal angels with a silver aro will probably be eaten or harassed, a Wild Altum angel would probably be fine or your best bet since they get pretty big almost 2x the size of normal angels.
 
When small the Oscar may pick on the angels but once he grows he probably won’t care. Just make sure there are enough hiding spots. The aro may not view full grown angels as food, but anything that fits in its mouth is an option, and they have big mouths.
I think it will work, but it may be best to have a backup tank if angels start disappearing.

The speed of growth may cause issues the Silver Arowana will grow the fastest if conditions are right. The Oscar and Angel fish should not be too small when added.
 
yea my plan was to add the angels first and let them get to almost full grown, then add a 6 in arrowana, then when that puts on some size, add the oscar

Nothing is certain but I think more likely than not it will be ok
