can i keep dats with this?

[hawaiian aros]

i have a 300gal with a 10' aro 2 plecos and
2 4' oscars
i can only find dats that are about 2-3'
can they survive with the oscars, b/c i
figure they wont be able to fight for food
or my get punked out by my oscars
also my oscars are growing fast
and is three a good number of dats to
start out with?
really want to get dats

 

[AddictedToMbus]

i have done it =P

 

[pwmin]

it can be done. doesn't always work out though in the long run because of the difference in growth rates

 

[TCZeli]

I would worry about the growth rates as well.

my oscar beat my dat up quite badly (dat was there first!) so i wouldn't do it but that's just my opinion,also as said oscars grow alot faster than dats

 

[Heyitsduy42]

I would worry about the Oscars too. Give it a try cause you'll never know. Sell one off if it doesnt work out.

Just get rid of the oscars. Everybody wins. No sense risking loosing a good expensive fish to a cheap garbage fish. And if down the road you decide days aren't for you, you can get more Oscars for a dollar at walmart

Completely agree with bitter on this one,get rid and get some dats,they end up roughly the same size but i would sooner have dats than oscars
