You ever keep him with smaller non aro/bichirs ? Wondering how a big silver would do with smaller cichlids like my het.Tell me about it, probably didnt know that aro scales are like armor and aros bite can do real damage
Anyone else have a 'peaceful' fish that is really aggressive?

I not sure but ive put a 3” NTT datnoid with him, they seem to be fine in the tank, its been 2-3 months now.
It's a pelvichromis pulcher. The colors are not mistakable.Is this what you have? Sounds like it's not a Pelvichromis pulcher or kribensis that you usually see.

It is a 55 gallon tankWhat size tank is it in?
I find that tank size (or lack thereof) is almost always the main factor in aggression.
I have just the opposite opinion as tlindsey (respectfully), I don't see any cichlid as aggressive, but if it is, its in the wrong size tank.
An example I've read tons of posts about how mean festae are, I combined them with many other cichlids in my tanks, and never had a problem.
I normally consider 10 gallons of water per inch of cichlid as minimal, but I guess your cichlid figures its not enough.
I've had 10-12" Paratilapia kill each other in a 500 gallon pond.
so what I or anyone else thinks as adequate really isn't relevant, if the fish thinks otherwise.

Funny that you say that but I had one aggressive female swordtail as well that started chasing and nipping the tails of my corydoras..... It turned out I had an ammonia spike after cleaning the solo filter way too well the weekend prior....After I got my stats on track, the swordtail was no longer aggressive...
That was not the problem for me, she killed the male I think, but I know she killed my dwarf honeymoon gourami. And made all of my fish beside my upside down catfish stay in the bottom left corner.
