Hey all, I have a 2.5" dat in a 20long, he grows very slowly because he only eats live. Right now I had to temporarily move my 5" oscar into his tank because this oscar is bulying all my other fish. I want the oscar to be isolated for a bit until I decide what to do with him,
the point is would it be safe to move my dat into my 225 which still has relatively small fish? here are the tankmates
4 bichirs 4-6"
1 flagtail 5"
1 clown knife 5" (weaned onto pellets)
1 Chocolate cichlid 4"
1 Common pleco 17"
1 Giant gourami 6" (very placid and shy)
3 2" tetras (dithers that are about 7 years old)
1 1.5" molly ( hopefully will become lunch one of these days...)
as you can see he wouldn`t be the smallest fish in the tank, and there are a lot of caves, large flowing plastic plants and areas for him to isolate himself. I`m wondering if this might wean him onto pellets too.
the Dat is currently hiding in the tank with the oscar, but the oscar has a huge mouth and I personally don`t trust him. especially with his aggressive nature. Would the dat be okay in the 225?
thanks appreciate the help in advance
