Oh good you're going to feed your Arowana a nice $15.00 snack. The Arowana will eat something that small. Either find a big Dat to put in there or wait until the Dat is at least 5-6 inches.

Have you been growing them in the containers like that all along? How big is the container? Doesnt seem like a bad idea since they are so small and it will be easier to feed and observe them this way until they get bigger.
Suprised they grow so well and have such great colors in that little container. Thats a real good idea, and proves it with those pictures,
I just transferred all my Dats into a spare 55 i setup. I have 6 Indos from before, and i have 5 more baby dats i just bought and put in there as well. I am not positive on what species they are, but i think silver or indo. These guys arent stable yet, but they are feeding.
Ill get some pictures by next week.

Their colors are actually better then when they are loose in my tank! I have found that the more I packed in their containers the more stable they would be...strange...
Now they are loose for good in my tank. They are so awesome. Every time I walk by the tank they know Im the one that feeds them even though they had never been fed in loose in the tank like that! They all swarm together and just follow me around. Its a real treat to know Im loved! LoL
Oh and BTW big Dats I feel safe to say as rule do not eat smaller ones. My bigger Indos (9" and 6") totally ignore these little guys yet theyll slam any fish small enough to put in their mouths instantly...check out my thread mini payara in the Other Monsters Forum; my big dat didnt give him a fighting chance and that fish was quite a bit bigger then these babies.

I got 2 NGT's 1 is just under an inch now and the other is about 1/2". I've actually seen the bigger one grow. I got it about 1/2" 2-3 months ago. My silver is already over an inch so he wouldnt count...
will try to get pics
