Can I put my 4" silver aro (currently in a 55 g himself) in a 120 gallon tank with 2 6" oscar + 1 4" red terror + 1 3" midas? I also have 2 green terrors and 1 firemouth and a pleco in there. I will get rid of the these 3 if too crowded. I want to use the 55 g for my 4 dollar size pirahas.
 
don't do that
too much competition for food
your aro might not get enough

and your aro might get spooked by the big fish
 
def not with all of them, maybe one or two lol.
 
don't, 4" sliver is way too small to compete w/same length cichlids. especially with a 4" red terror, it'll get killed w/o even fighting back. but since aros will out grow ur cichlids, just wait til ur silver is bigger than ur cichlid, then try it out
 
the cichs probably won't cause problems since they're small, but silver aro's are very delicate at that size, so i wouldn't risk it.
