My 300 gallon aquarium currently has a 4" Silver Arowana, a 3 1/2" Gold Datnoid, a 4" Sternella Pleco, 3 small Clown Plecos, 3 small Juli Cory Cats, and a 1" Synodontis Cat. I also have 3 EBJDs that are 1" each in a small 10 gallon aquarium because I was afraid they would be eaten in the large one being so small. However, maintaining the water quality in the smaller tank is a little hard and tiring. Since my cory cats and other small fish are fine with the aro and dat, do you think my Jack Dempseys would be okay too?
 
I think it depends on the aro, has it eaten live food? If it has then I would say it will eat the ebjd's. I have 1.5 inch frontosa's with my 26" aro and it does not even look at them.

I feed him crickets and frozen krill.
 
I also have a very large piece of driftwood and two medium pieces with caves and other hiding spots. There are also a lot of large plants that would make good hiding spots too. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
 
I think you will lose them to either the arrow or dat. The cories shuttle around the bottom out of the arrows way and have barbs that the dat does not want to mess with. EBJD will go down easily.

I agree
