I am getting a 4-5" Silver Aro Monday,its tankmates will be 2 Silver Dollars,1 tiny Clown Knife,and 2 4-5" Channel cats,do you guys think this set up will be ok??

Way overstocked and not a good choice of tank mates IMO. I noticed they are all small but everyone but the SD's will get close to or over 2 feet... the channel cats can get 4+ feet, what size tank? Are your Gars in this tank too?

Channel cats do not grow over 4 feet. You are thinking blue cats. He will be lucky to get his half this size.

Silver aro is still fairly small and the tail end would easily fit into the cats mouth. With the channel cats being nocturnal, they may attack at night. Probably couldn't eat the aro but could cause a good amount of damage.

I bet they could scarf it down. If it's just a baby aro there isn't much meat there lol.
