Are Indo Dat ever aggressive to other fish? I have a 11/12 Indo Dat and every now again he charges or flexes on the peacock bass. Is this normal. Does not appear to be a threat or anything, but I didn;t think they were aggressive at all. anyone seen this before???
 
Yes ive experienced this,my 12" IT attacks my 21" rtg on a regular basis.

I have 7 of them , they seem to be more aggressive as they get larger. I have seen mostly chasing w cichlid shaped fish, but they have tried to picked my indo tarpon apart 1 scale at a time.

same as me my 18inch ST goes after my 25inch chilli red every other day nothing bad just chases him a bit some times some split fins on the aro
 
Just some scales lost at worse.Mine fight mostly among themselves.
 
Exactly the same richard,not really attacks but just little digs but the aro doesnt really have a go back, more like he spins round and they just have a face off:screwy:

Okay then that fine , ths is my first DAT and it is a great fish, but was not sure about the aggressiveness of the fish. Also do they normally swim head down in the corners of the fish tank. this fish has some weird habbits. Sometimes it looks as if the colors goes out and he dark black hidding in the corner. I thought he was being picked on, but one night I sat back in a room back and watched the activity in the tank for about two hours and noticed he is themost aggressive one in the tank. So i am not sure why he stays in the corner top of the tank sometimes weired. Agian this is my first DAT...
