Well the answer to all your questions is a larger aquarium.

You can't control the aggression of the red devil, in a larger tank though there would be more room and the other fish would be able to stay out of his territory.

A silver arowana will quickly outgrow your tank.

The silver aro should be at least twice the length of any cichlids it is kept with.

Bderick hit the nail on the head.

You should get a 12' x 4' x 5' tank, that would be awesome

BTW welcome to MFK

Bad idea, you already have too many fish

move all the decoration in the tank around that can help or get rid of it mabye add some dither fish

His tank is a 5' x 1'. Moving around a few decorations isn't going to make a Red Devil non-aggressive.

Get rid of all the other fish fish and just keep the RD in your 75. If you don't he'll eventually get rid of them for you.

as has already been said, you can't control the aggression of a red devil. there are things that can be done to try to reduce the aggression but first and foremost is having the largest tank possible. If you already have the largest tank possible, then you aren't gonna be able to keep much of anything else with your red devil, especially if he's already controlling the tank at only 3-4". Aggression is only going to increase.
