i wanted to put a 14 inch ish dat with a 12 to 13 inch red aro
trial has failed
with in 5minutes, they started intimidating each other. then the dat started chasing the aro, and attacked the aro

So back to their respective tanks!

damn!
would have been nice to have them together.
 
damn sorry to hear that man, they wouldve looked great together.
 
That sucks. They would have looked good. I keep my 18" black aro in with an 11" ST. Is this normal for dats and aros to not get along? I thought they were just species aggressive?

Its all really hit or miss
 
How much time did you give them before you gave up? Sometimes it takes awhile before they can establish their own order. I would have taken the aro out into a bucket while acclimating the dat and rearranged the tank and done a water change, than I would have introduced them back in at the same time. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you ;)
 
All my tanks have a dat and aro in the same tank.

My 240 have

13" IT, 13" ST, 8" NGT, 8" NTT along with Two 16" Black aros and 13" Leichardti

My Grow out tank have

Eight 6-8" IT, 6" NTT with 2 Silver aros

Give it time...a little pecking order dominance may exist for a while..how big is the tank ? they need their own territory to established their dominance.
