Substrate and Tank Ornaments for Aggressive Cichlids?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah, I do, too! The dat is a good add in my opinion. Unless you're a purist! lol In my experience, mine seems to get along just fine with all of the fish in my tank and no aggression issues.
 
No, I was talking about having a central/south American tank only. Dats come from Asia. But I know you wouldn't mind a dat in there because you have loaches

Not trying to derail the thread, just going with the convo.

They are great fish with awesome personalities. Here's a thread to drool over when you have spare time. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?527477-Wild-Dat-Pics

You may want to consider getting one if they find their way to your lfs or order one online! :) I can post a pic of mine if you would like to see a young one!

They tend to have someone selling dats in the Marketplace if you are serious about buying one, although I'm not sure about your area. It's worth a shot. Heck, you could have one imported from Asia.

Here's a pic of my little one, if you don't mind.

The dats are also called tigerfish. Just don't get them confused with the goliath African tigerfish... Lol
