Possibly due too the attitude of your son towards the hobby, your clearly experienced yourself but the people and fishkeeping skills of Yanker need a little fine tuning. As for tankmates I would consider the larger lower jaw poly's and ornates (personal favourites of mine) and also cichla, dat species and perch species like lates and santaperca.

Sorry don't know why i put that, meant siniperca
 
Is your aro a silver or a jardini? A silver should tolerate tankmates that stay near the bottom fairly well, such as catfish, bichirs (150g+) or rays (300g+). Others the same size as the aro that stay near the middle as well should be fine. As long as they don't fit into the aros mouth.

For a jardini I would stay away from tankmates. I had one that would not tolerate any one else in the tank. I traded him in for an asian RTG.
