I have a big net.. would it be ok to house my “least” favorite dat in the net while l fatten up my favorite

Should I just take divider out and let them have at it. I believe when they get bigger the aggressiveness will start to dwindle down

Lots of driftwood rocks and places to hide but the most aggressive one keeps other two behind hob filters especially during feeding. Right now two big ones behind divider.. ones at the top pointing up aggressive one at bottom under driftwood. Small one happy on other side.

Little help here.. I have 3 Indo Dats that were all 2 inches when I bought them. Now 2 are 4.5 inches and eating pellets and black worms and the 3rd one is 2.5 inches and only eats worms. The two bigger ones fight each other continuously and they take turns hammering the small one especially...

So I ended up having to put a divider in my 150. One Dat, the dominant one has1/4 of the tank and the other dat, my Black Ghost, Arrowana and Pleco has the rest. What use to be the dominant 2.5in Dat now hides and is chased by the 3.5 but he’s ok.. he’s strong and comes out when hungry and...

You know it really doesn’t matter where or what names you put on Datnoids. I’ve had groups of 5 or 6 since I was 19 and I’m 70 now. Their was Siamese Tigers, Silver or gold..That’s It period. All the hype and popularity has made a fish not caught in in the US a big money maker. There was no...

Adding (2) 3.5 inch Dats to my 150.. already have (1) 3 inch Dat that rules the (4) Uarus and 5 inch Silver Arrowana. This Dat beat on my other Dat he was put in with so bad he stressed out wouldn’t eat and I found him dead one morning. Any suggestions before putting the two new ones in. Should...

You’re right.. noticed the Jardini unlike Silver Arowanas was hanging around the bottom getting close to smaller indo dats and a big dat would chase him off.. One time he grabbed my smallest Dat and they were spinning and rolling around till jardini let him go. Then I noticed my pleco who I...

So its come to this.. Seven Dats, 5 inches to 3inches, 2 small red Oscars and a 3.5 in Jardini in a 135g. I got a package deal on the Dats that's why so many. I have a divider in with Dats separated so I can take a good look at color and characteristics. Seems the one 5in that has best color is...

So I mentioned putting a divider in my 135g .. bought a baby Jardini arrowana and put him on the small side for his safety.. put one of my 3in dats in with him.. the dat swam around, ate, beautiful color all with lights on or off.. then I put him back in with the other 6 dats he turned dark, hid...

From what I’ve experienced.. adding tankmates will increase activity but won’t stop the “bullying “.. the larger Dat will chase all other Dats away at feeding time while tankmates eat..but will not bully tank mates. He got that big by eating the most, he’s always first to hide when lights come...

Another reason the biggest is always chasing the others is food.. he wants to get all rights to anything on the bottom that wasn’t eaten. Mine beards the other 2 big ones to the top of the tank but ignore the small ones.

Mine do that too.. tried separating the big boss but next biggest started bullying.. I guess that’s why there’s a size difference., mine were the same size when purchased, 3 grew fast, 2 are trying to keep up and 2 are still small. I just let them do their own thing. Maybe I’ll sell the smaller...

Moved to the South Coast.. Port Orford

Well... Moved to Oregon from California.. been here a year, new 135g up and running. And ones my choice of fish Indo Datnoids.. I got 7 ranging 3 to 4.5 in.. I thought about Uaru’s but I just like the challenge of trying to get dats to do what I want them to do.. if you remember I traded 5...

Years ago an old Chinese guy at a lfs use to sell Siamese Tigers (Dats). He would hold small dats between his pointer finger and thumb and gently squeeze them.. l asked why he was “playing “ with them liked that and he told me it makes them not scary.. he had a small bowl with 3 or 4 dats in it...

Here’s a couple pictures from my last post

I just read all the feeds on Datnoid Stability again, The results are the same, New ideas bigger words but Dats are still dark in color off and on. I started in the 70’s, Back then they were Siamese Tigers, never new anything about stable or unstable (I’m 67) My 2 Tigers were always Gold/Black...

So (3) out of (7) of my Datnoids are totally pellet trained, and it’s obvious cause they are out growing the (4) that aren’t. The (3) love massivore delight. They are about 4.5 inches..they swim up to grab the big pellets before they get wet. I was breaking the pellets into 4 pieces but I see...

I know how costly it is to buy filter pads for hang on back filters and I know some of us have started making our own, I have. Well I found a place online (Chewys.com) that sells the filter pads cheap. I’m talkin $7.00 for a box of four pads. Not a bad price. Check em out.
