Get a section of Plexiglass that is as wide as the tank. Drill holes in it to allow for water flow and use it as a tank divider. It isn't ideal since aros need large tanks, but it may allow for healing and for the two to acclimate. You may eventually need to separate them though because your cichlid is going to act like a cichlid.
