I understand that the answer isn't what you wanted, but didn't you ask this before?

I warned you. If you gave her a week everything would have ended up dead. Only thing I ever heard of being comm with a mature one successfully was a monster male dovii in a 600 gallon tank, but there wasn't proof so idk if it was even true. And even so the fish was only 2 feet he said, if he were to give it time to get to 3', I Bett that dovii would've been a goner.
ime I treat my wyckii like an aggressive cichlid. if its been housed alone all its life then you probably have no chance. I know my wyckii isn't as aggressive or large growing as artc but going on my experience with mine I would get a young one if I were going to attempt it with an artc, under 12 inch and make sure its in with some big bull cichlids that will keep it in check, with the eventual size you don't have much choice... maybe a big butti, dovii, umbee but it could always end in a bloodbath.... risky game comming aggressive species as we all know.
also do I need to say it, tank size is everything... in a few thousand gallons an artc could easily be very mellow.

That's exactly my thoughts. If he were to try to come with cichlids they should have atleast been large ones, if the cat is 15" a fish it's size can barely do much let alone one half its size. Your vid with the wyckii grabbing rocky demonstrates this perfectly.
This mofo has more scars than scarface, she's lock up during that time until I remove any more victims. 
Killed everything in sight, just a relentless killa. Never seen before and I give up with Tankmates. Picked up a 16" super fat rtc and got tore up with hrs.
I like to keep mine alone
