Datnoids are typically only aggressive amongst themselves, and that diminishes rapidly with groups of 3 or more datnoids. However, dats have been known to guard their caves and other hiding places against perceived threats.

My 3" indo dat will often chase the other fish away from his favorite cave. But he never has caused any noticable damage to any of the fish and they usually just swim away and pay him no bother.

My 3 datnoids ranging from 12 to 14 inches are kept with 4 distichodus affinis that are about 4 inches.

They dont even look at them...
