Has any1 here ever kept dats and discus together? I know that there is no way the dat could eat the discus and I know that the discus would never bother the dat I just wanted to see if any1 here has house these 2 together. I was thinking of adding a few well really maybe 2 or 3 discuses in my dat tank. Right now all that's in my main tank is a 9 maybe 10" dat 4x 6-7" loaches a 6-7" tin foil and a motoro 4" what do you guys think. IMO I say yes but I just wanted to hear you guys' thoughts.

i would say its possible... and yes the dat can't eat the discus but it can bother the discus.

I was thinking that; but none of my dats really bother my other fishes so I was just wondering
 
Discus are shy fish , they might just start hiding and even stop eating if you mix them with datnoids or other aggressive predators.

Thanks for your insights guys; I was just wondering I found a really nice sized wild discus and thought hey these might look good in my tank; figure I do some research and check as to what you guys think.

Do it Jeff.


Well dunno if I want to spend some $$$ on fishes that might not end up making it in my tank. Sean you just want me to find out whether it works or not for you...:irked: :irked:
 
I am sure that some discus would die within a few weeks. Maybe some would survive. I know nothing about dats. Some discus can't even live with other discus. I kept some brave discus with a black aro but I wouldn't go any further than that.
 
I will do it, if you do it.. in that case, I am in more risk than u are, lol...
