I have heard about them supposedly not eating their own kind but I dont know if they would leave smaller sized dats alone if they get hungry enough.I think that the dat will see those fronts as food and they will wind up as expensive feeders.

i have a 10" indo with fronts that were 4-5" and they fought but never lost one due to the indo...only the rays.

If the dat were much larger, I wouldn't try it. You might be okay at 10 inches. I had quite a few losses from my large ST. Including a 4 inch salvini cichlid and quite a few african cichlids which were all around 4 inches. I thought they would be too quick. They all dissapeared at night.

Thanks for the input guys

a font may look like a tiger but they are not a tiger fish are not stupid or you would get lots of font tiger hybrids

fish are alot like people...some are stupider than others

very true

but a tiger looks nothing like a font to a tiger you may as well say a tigrinus cat looks like a tiger fish

yeah...not really the same thing but thanks for your input
 
big datnoid "MIGHT" eat the small frontosa "IF" you dont feed resonable amount. or they will think its a feeder. they have 4 of my clown loaches. so i figured they wouldnt hestiate to eat smaller fish
