What fish can be mixed with the star-spotted arowana?

Silver arowanas can be kept with stingrays, oscars, parrot fish, flying fox, pineapple fish, and Siamese tiger fish—medium to large fish of similar size that rarely conflict, especially stingrays that live at the bottom and add beauty. Avoid very small, gentle fish that the arowana may bully.

Goldfish are peaceful but clumsy and poor competitors for food, so they do best with small, gentle tank mates such as angelfish, blood parrots, tetra, guppy, and platy — all small tropical fish with modest needs.

Oscars can be kept with similarly sized, robust fish such as blood parrots, jewel cichlids, silver sharks, and arowanas. Avoid small tankmates they'll bully or eat.
Tips for Keeping Turtles and Fish Together
Not every turtle belongs with fish. Good tank mates need to live in deep water, prefer plants, and have a gentle temperament so they will not attack fish, which is why the pig-nosed turtle, yellow-spotted side-neck, and razor-backed musk turtle are common choices. Use a dedicated tank with a basking area, feed turtles and fish separately on their own schedules, and pick mild species on both sides to avoid injury to either.

The Cinnabar-eye Big Butterfly-tail Goldfish is a goldfish variety with a pure white belly and only cinnabar-red eyes, very striking. Gentle, it is beloved by hobbyists.
What to Do If an Arowana Is Stressed
An arowana that is frightened should be left in a quiet, stable tank with feeding stopped and gentle support — a slight temperature rise, a little aquarium salt, and small water changes — until it relaxes. Stress comes from new surroundings, tank-mate fights, or sudden shifts in temperature or water quality, and it can slide into illness or death, so keep the tank calm, the temperature swing under 2°C, and remove anything that spooks the fish.
