1. What gar species can be with silver arowana without eating the arowana?

2. What fish can be kept with arapaima long-term without the arapaima eating them?

Yep, I think the same about the first one. I used to see the video that said alligator gar can be kept with silver arowana and oscar. Also they said oscar can be kept with arapaima. After that I had decided, I ain't trusting that sh*t.

Honestly, i feel like red tails might be able to live with them, but hte arowana has to be a decent size

yeah, arapaima are ambush predators and dont tend to eat things bigger than their mouths like a lot of catfish. so most any larger bottom dwelling catfish and anything larger than its mouth should be safe long term
