How big is the Geo?Tank size? If the aro is a jar i dont think it would work out when the jar gets bigger.

yeah, theywill be fine
feed the earth eater so it doesnt get outgrown by the silver aro

aros is the russian roulette here you never know what you are gonna get!

I have four Earthmovers (3, 5" Satanoperca jurupari and 1, 3.5" Geophagus braziliensis) in with a 26" Silver Aro. BUT, they are in a very large vat (625 gallon) with lots of hiding places AND the Aro never was given live food and has not ever eaten any of his tankmates (with the possible exception of some black tetras, but other fish may have been responsible). Just keep the Aro fed well and provide some hides. One other thing, I had several other moderately aggressive cichlid speices like Severums and Mexican Rainbows in with the Earthmovers and generally everything leaves them alone. Not saying, however, a really mean species wouldn't go after them.

Starting to think that Arowanas are not the sharpest tools in the shed, mine tried several times to eat my magnetic algae scraper!!
