the jardini is the smallest i know of. still get around 24". slightly more aggresive then a silver which can get up to 36" . asians are smaller then the silvers also but hard to get and expensive.

If you're looking for an arowana that will only grow to 14-16 inches then don't even bother getting one. 20 inches is even consider small for an arowana. Average length they will get in captivity is 22-25 icnhes.

Thats about half (or less) the adult size of every arowana species....

flag tail and silver aro are completely 2 different fishes. silver aro may reach up to 30" while a flagtail (charachin) will reach up to 12" but both can be compatible tank mates in a spacious tank.
 
There is no such thing as a "flagtail silver" arowana. As peewee said,m flagtail is usually the common name for Semaprochilodus taeniurus.
