I only have 100 watts in 700 liters

Shouldn't be a problem as long as your able to handle the bio load and all of them are well fed..... Flaring and chasing is common in community tank

Datnoids will not eat each other. They will chase each other to establish dominance. As far as lighting, they prefer dimmer lighting and show their colors better in dimmer lighting.

Agreed,they will not eat each other but there may be some squabbles and chasing as they try to establish dominance.Dats are normally lurkers and hiders so they may take a while to get used to the lights.I rarely even use my tank lights.
