I'd get more than 3. Also how big is your tank? They can reach 12"

Satanoperca is the proper genus for jurupari - but they are in the family of Geophagus - so its all good.
Aggression and jurupari are seldom in the same sentence - these fish are not total pushovers, but are amongst the most docile cichlids.
Research is going in the right direction - most on here will agree to setup a tank themed around the fish not the other way around. Great fish with very subtle but beautiful coloration - bronze/gold/green with spangles of red and blue on the dorsal.
Keeping them in groups is a good idea too.

I have a 300g build in the making. Motoro ray, florida gar, silver aro, bgk, and a fire eel. I need sum help with the movement on the bottom of the tank and he said he keeps these guys with rays n aros with no problem. I don't want more than 3. I wanted only 2 and he insisted on atleast 3
5+ min ... they are very social cichlids. He shouldn't have sold you only 3 ... not enough stores take responsiblity any more sadly.
