i was wondering if this aggression could be due to 'competition'. like i said with mine, its the 14" ornate that bullies my 11" palmas and leaves alone the 4/5" birchirs. as they are bottom dwelling the palmas may be seen as a threat. with your aro it might not seem threatened as its a top dweller but the oscar is mid water and are known to dig? could that be possible?

ornates will keep that color in any substrate but if left in dark sub prob darken the color a little bit and if sub is light then maybe make the color little paler
