Your L-14 is far too small.. baby size that is dangerous and fragile when young..
Best kept in a 10-20 gallon tank with other small fish until it grows to 4 inches..
And yes. i'm also curious about your Indo dat.. how big is it? both together might not work out..

How fragile? Little guy is really active and already eating. Stomach is nice and full. I heard that goldy are really hardy. My indo dats are about 1"- 2". My biggest dat is the same size as my goldy. BTW, price is just so good, should I get another goldy or mango? Both goldy and mango are same price and same size (2"). BTW they would be going in a 60g.
Great choice on the food. I fed my L-14 NLS for 3 years. I had to get rid of him since my large L-114 cactus pleco would have done him in. Goldies are the most active no-hide plecos I ever seen. You will enjoy him espicially when he gets bigger. Mine was almost 12 inches. Had him at a couple of inches and only fed NLS with no promblems what so ever.
Good price there, do you mean goldy as in L-14? these do better with protein in the diet so offer foods like musslces, prawns, bloodworm etc and good quality pellets like hikari massivore, and the datnoid should take these feeds too.
