Dats with Pbass?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Joey has a 3" NTT with a couple of 5" P bass and a whole lotta small loaches and a foot+ long silver aro and they seem to get along fine. I guess it may depend on the bass and what size your dats are. I'm assuming you have baby indo's.
 
No I don't have baby indos yet, I was thinking of getting some as dats are beautiful to me. I have a school of 5 baby mono/ocells and I was thinking of picking up some baby indos. Maybe 3-5 if I can find some locally. Also I will be selling my jaguar cichlid and moving my breeding pair of GT's out of the 225g and will be moving the baby pbass's into the 225g. If I can get baby dats then they'll be in the 225g as well.
 
It can work, but Dats grow slower and Pbass aren't too smart. So they'll try and have a meal if the Dats are small enough. As long as they are about the same size, it'll work.
 
I have kept Peacock bass and datnoids together. Just make certain that the datnoids are large enough that your peacocks can not eat them once their adults.
 
In my opinion it could work for a period of time but if the dats are small enough for the pbass to eatb its only a matrer of time before dats go missing (just a warning)
