If you ask me, this is one of those "Why ask if you can clearly see the GIANT fish will eat the rest". If the eel eats live foods period, he will get to a size that most tankmates will be food.
As for the combo for the Tat, Aro and Juru, Yes it will work. Only one I would watch for is the Juru when it gets about 14"+ cause the Tall skinny slow growing Tat might fit in his mouth. Jurus grow realy fast when compared to Tats. JMO:D
 
What size tank?

agreed.
but i dont think the juru will be able to eat it until its about 20 inches cause the tat will grow too.

Most important question of them all! I was about to ask.

whether they can live together doesnt depend on tank size that much.
it depends on the fish being kept together.
 
I vote the Tat gets outcompeted by the Arrows then eaten by the eel, along with everything else.......

Maybe you should get a RTC for the ultimate finish, maybe he could pull a spagetti noodle on the eel.
