Is this possible? I know cichlids could be pretty aggressive sometimes. I was thinking about keeping festae, veija, green terror, maybe some managuense or midas or both.
Would a Jardini work if a silver doesnt? silver is 13" now
 
I keep aggressive cichlids with my aro but they are smaller with the exception of one FH but they seem to be best friends so can only guess its because they look so different. Having more problems with cichlids v's cichlids . Aro is king of the tank no problems
 
I have been keeping my 24"+ Aro with one 14" Jag, 3 x 13" Oscars without any issues for close to a year now... But, my experience might be an exception..
 
I keep a 33" silver and 18" green aro with festae, argentea, and nicaraguans. no problems with the aro/cichlid combo. 13" aro might be risky though.
 
I think I'm going to give it a shot. I have 2 festae, a cuban, gold saum, and a dempsey with a hystrix ray and you are not "supposed" to be able to do it. All depends on the fish!
