Datnoid question

[Chrisplosion]

Local store had a small Datnoid (tiger I think) for sale that I am considering getting, doing the smart thing and researching first.

1. How well do they do with CA Cichlids of equal size?
2. 125g ok for life or not large enough.

Same temperament as cichlids.. Hit or miss really..

2. 125g ok for life or not large enough.

IT's get to about 18" in the wild.. Largest I've heard of is 16" in captivity.. 150+ would be better suited for an IT..

IMO- they are fine with CA cichs. I attached an older video of indonesian dats (most common) and CA's in my 155
Also, have a 2.5" Silver Datnoid with Geos, 4" Bleekeri (Madagascan) in a grow out 75. No issues either

2. 125g ok for life or not large enough.

Yes, for a while. They are not particularly fast growers after hitting 9" mark.

125 will work for quite some time...
