Hi everyone. I'm picking up a couple dats tomorrow and was wondering if I would be able to put them in with two oscars that are smaller than them? I think I already know the answer but thought i'd see what you folks had to say.
 
How big are datnoids and what species?
 
Oscars will probably outgrow and possibly try to eat them.
 
Dats are 4-5 inch, oscars are 2-3. As far as what kind i'm sure they will be indo as they are being sold as gold tiger datnoid but i haven't seen them yet.
 
I would be worried with the extremes. I.E. The 5" Dat with 2" Oscar. I have 8" oscars with 4-5" Dats and all is well. As long as they are close in size I don't think you will have an issue.
