i have 6x2x2.5 with a silver arowana about 19 inches

and i want to put 1 or 2 dats in the tank but was wondering on how many dats can i put in there and if aggression would be a problem and


please help
 
I think that first of all you would have to be looking for fairly large dats probably 10" and up, which are fairly expensive. Secondly, it would depend on how well your silver takes to tankmates. Does your silver have tankmates at the moment or is it all alone? I've seen tanks with large silvers, but with equally large dats.
I used to have my 10" jardini with 2 7" NTT's and I never saw the dats come out of their hiding place cuz the jar would terrorize the crap outta them. The jar even went into their hiding places to go get em. So long story short, I got rid of the jar and bought 18 more 1.5-2" NTT's.
anyways silvers are usually better tempered than jar's so i hope it works out for u.
 
i have had frontosaz in the tank befor but they died so i was looking for new tank mates and iv always like dats there realy nice looking fish that i have always had a interest
 
i find that my aro picks on my dats more than any other fish in the tank. maybe its because the dats eats all the food. anyways dats are fast swimmers and with some hiding places it should be okay.
