About 5:20 the Aro eats a 6" sunfish.. But Ate a Live 5" crabro in seconds that was being chased by the Cichla.. The aro turned and the speedy crabro stopped for a brief second before the stomach and then was gone!!!!!!!! 5" Crabro is pretty big...
 
My 23" & 25" silvers are housed with over a dozen fish that are at 5", they don't eat them. It would depend on the individual aro though.
 
My 24"+ aro won't eat smaller fish that he has been with for awhile but I tried to add a 5" pbass and he was gone in one gulp. (not to mention the 8" goby)
 
If you do attempt this....... have a camera rolling :D

Hopefully nothing happens but IF, you might as well make a bad thing kinda entertaining for us.
 
Though it might not eat it for some time there is always that risk. It is really up to you. If you care about the cichla a lot I wouldn't try it.
