This is not a good question, because it's really unclear what "similar" means.
They have roughly the same density. (Yes) Their chemical reactions are somewhat different. (No) One allotrope of arsenic is grey and metallic in appearance and could reasonably be mistaken for germanium in a cursory visual examination. (Yes) Arsenic sublimes, germanium melts. (No) And so on.
In order to answer the question, you'd need to define specifically what your criteria for considering things "similar" is.

Are germanium and arsenic similar?
nope
What metaloid elements are in period 4?
There is not one but there are two metalloids in Period 4 of the periodic table. They are germanium and arsenic. There is a link below to the Wikipedia post on the metalloids so you can have a look at them.
How are boron and arsenic similar?
Boron and arsenic are both metalloids.
What are the metalloid elements on the periodic table?
Metalloid, or semi metal is a term used in chemistry when classifying the chemical elements. On the basis of their general physical and chemical properties, nearly every element in the periodic table can be termed either a metal or a nonmetal. However, a few elements with intermediate properties are referred to as metalloids. They are sometimes called (and confused with) semiconductors and semimetals.The following elements are generally considered metalloids:Boron (B)Silicon (Si)Germanium (Ge)Arsenic (As)Antimony (Sb)Tellurium (Te)Polonium (Po)Astatine (At)Inclusion of polonium is somewhat academic because all its isotopes are radioactive.
What are the elements that belong with arsenic?
The elements in the same group as arsenic are nitrogen, phosphorous, antimony, and bismuth. Also, arsenic is a metalloid, a classification which includes boron, silicon, germanium, antimony, tellurium, and polonium. These are elements with intermediate or mixed properties between metals and non-metals.
Are germanium and arsenic similar?
nope
Can you give examples of elements that are metalloids?
The metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium.
What elements bond with arsenic?
silicon, germanium
What happens when you add a proton to germanium?
If it were possible to add a proton to atoms, then the germanium would turn into arsenic.
What elements are metalloids?
The Elements are: Boron(B), Silicon(Si), Germanium(Ge), Arsenic(As), Antimony(Sb), Tellurium(Te), and Astatine(At) all the metalloids are:Boron (B)Silicon (Si)Germanium (Ge)Arsenic (As)Antimony (Sb)Tellurium (Te)Polonium (Po)
What are some examples of metalloid elements?

When arsenic atoms are added to germanium lattice it become?
superconductor
