Aro and the dat, tag team from hell?

[henward]

Hi there

i just wanted to know if a 13 to 14 inch dat would be ok with a asian aro?
the dat doesnt seem to be aggressive, it is currently with a synodontis, and was with tinfoil barbs and stuff.

a very common combination. how big is the aro?

 

[henward]

The aro will be a little bigger by then, i will move it to the bgger tank when it gets bigger, it will be the syno, dat and the aro.

sounds perfect to me. keep an eye out for aggression though, you don't want to lose either of those fish

 

[henward]

yeah true that

should i intro one first or it doesnt matter?

a 14" dat is much bigger than a 15" aro. i would be very careful i tried a 12" St with a 13" aro and the aro got its arse kicked.

Just be wearey iknow that dats can be very agressive when they have thee terriory invaided, although ti is a common combination.

 

[henward]

fair enough
how about if i reintroduce them to a new environment together?
or the aro first then the dat?
