    Usually esimate size of tank by counting total number of inches all your fish added together equals - most of the fish you have chosen will grow quite large, especially the oscars, which will probably not get along with the angels, the parrotfish, or the arowana. You are trying to mix too many "alpha" fish together. In my opinion, a 55 gal. tank would support 2 oscars with smaller fish, or 1 arowana with smaller fish, or 3 angelfish with smaller fish. The Oscar can grow as big as a dinner plate and the arowana can grow up to 4" long, much to big for even a 55 gal. When you buy these fish you should realize you are buying babies, check sources to find out how big these fish will get and pick an aquarium accordingly.
