i just bought a 5inch silver arowana last week and bought 3 inch australian arowana. They go thru well but when i came back after school. My australian arowana got suck up in the overhead filter. And some of its scales are gone and has a bite mark on its belly. But my silver arowana has no physical damages what so ever. Can you help me how to put them both together? Because i'm planning to buy another australian gold arowana.
how can i put my silver arowana and australian gold together?

Jars (or Aussie aros as you call them) and all aros in general are aggressive. Whether you can get them to live in harmony with other aros is hit and miss.
Some people think that having just two aros together increases aggression as opposed to a larger number, as the aggression is dispersed with more fish.
However, I'm not suggesting that you go and buy more aros as your current tank is already too small for the adult size of the fish you already have.
Are you planning on upgrading your tank in the future?
P.s. You could try add some small quick fish like large tiger barbs of small tinfoil barbs as dithers (that means that the aros will chase them and not each other). This sometimes also helps with aggression, but not always..

btw if the dimensions you listed are correct, your tank is almost 150 gallons.
