could work if you do a lima. Would have to be a 10"+ lima already. I'm sure you've heard it already, but you'll need a bigger tank for the aro. Since you have a ray I'd worry about any catfish that would stay primarily on the bottom of the tank. If you go lima put some kind of fake grass, or tree roots so that it will lay verticle off of the bottom. If there's nothing for them to do this they will lie on the bottom. TSN I'd worry about it eating the aro unless it's larger than the tsn. If your setup was larger I'd go with tsn, but not with a 200. Your tank is going to be stocked up pretty nicely with what you already have. Good luck, and if you get limas get two. they are a blast!
