I am sure I will get flamed for this most likely, but I have a little situation. The more I see dats on this site the more and more I want one. Badly. Well anyway in my tank as far as cichlids go I have a Royal Green Terror thats about 9", a Severum thats about 8" a JD thats about 5", and a Oscar about 3". So Im wondering if anyone has ever kept a Dat with a GT. I am very attached to the GT yet I really want to try a Dat. I would get rid of the JD if I got a Dat for sure. I have read over and over on this site that cichlids and dats are a bad idea but I was hoping I could get it to work somehow? My Sev and Oscar arent aggressive at all so Im sure they would be fine, its just the GT. BTW, the tank is a 180.

I have 3 widebars, 5"-6", growing out in a 100 with a 6" green terror. There have not been any issues between them. As long as your dat is large enough, I don't see why it would be an issue, given the space available in a 180.

I've never heard that they make a bad combo.
