Out of my 4 kinds of dats...NGT are definitely the most aggressive.

I recently purchased 2 small new guinea dats and they are great! Just they are definitely more territiorial than the rest. I plan on doing an asian style tank with like 12 dats, my korean perch and my FRT. i hope the NGTs dont disturb the rest of the tank.
 
the asian style tank you have planned sounds awesome. :drool:

good to know that about the NGT's cause I'd love to have one some day. you got pics of your 4 different kinds of dats? :D
 
didn't get any of the ngts yet

Nothing is ever an absolute but you might want to either heavily decorate the tank or add more New Guinea Dats because usually they will kill each other if there are just 2 or 3 in the tank.


Good luck with your setup.
