Datnoid Dither Suggestions

[studd muffin]

SD, spotted SD, black bar myleus, pink/ red tail chalceus, red hooks, tinfoils, archerfish- ( that's if u don't mind keeping archer in FW)
Some one mentioned geos.... If u have sand, geos are nice.
The more dithering fish u have , the more chance your tigers will be active and displaying.

Archers are great! I used archers before.

Archers are a brackish water fish and would be great if you are keeping them with AT in a brackish water tank but not with fresh water fish

This is getting stupid now keeping brackish water fish in fresh water everyone says they do fine in fresh water but that's not the point many fish will do ok in the wrong water conditions that doesn't make it right

Would you put discus in a brackish water tank no so why do people think it's ok to put scats monos AT or archers in fresh water

Scats an monos live in full marine once they get to a certain age yet people still think it's ok to keep them in fresh water IT NOT

Arrow Sharks (single barb) very flashy around 9 inches full grown?

Arrow Shark?

Googled that and I saw somewhere peeps saying those were labiobarbus festivus?

 

[T1KARMANN]

Anyone got any pics or video of the arrow barb as I can't seam to find any info on them

well said .....I 've seen quite a few people here keeping scats with dats (not ATs) and wondered about it.

If you can put some salt in with them they get along great. Scats are gready eaters and are always in the front of the glass waiting to greet you. Sort of like cichlids only nicer in disposition. Try whatever fish you like.

You can just add salt you need to get the SG levels right for scats mono and AT it's not a case of adding some salt

If you had a marine tank you can't just add some salt

By adding some salt you are then providing the wrong water for the other fish you are keeping

You have fresh water fish brackish water fish and marine fish they should all be kept in the right water condition

Arrow Sharks (Single Barb)Not much info on them? Heard they are rare, because some of thier natural habitat is gone? I have two of them, trying to get more. Cool fish so far, but act similar to other Barbs(3-5 in groups) grow to 9-10in? called Arrow Sharks because it sounds better than Single Barb? Look kinda like a White or stripped Bass fry?

It is not a marine tank, you're right about that. NGTs and AT's both do fine with salt/brackish conditions. Brackish estuarian environments are changing in salt content with every tidal change. Are you telling me that you know the specific gravity requirements for all of these brackish species? What is your source? I have even seen scats in some pretty spectacular african cichlid display tanks at the LFS. I bet that would drive you nuts.
