Finally got them!

After a looong time. I finally found some datnoids! So excited. Both are Sumatra datnoids. The smaller one has a split bar on one side. Very cool markings. Was dark when I picked them up but once in my tank they are stable. Smaller one only takes frozen bloodworms for now and the bigger one takes cut tilapia pieces and bloodworms. They’re in a 135gallon tank with 3 plecos. The big one is already a pig at feeding time.

Can someone explain why and how, I see it all the time on YouTube we’re they have a huge datnoid with small ones. I have a chance to get 2 indo’s around 5” but I’m afriad that they’ll eat my 1.5” and 2” ones. Is there a secret to making them coexist without the big one snacking on the little ones as I would love to add more. I’ve seen so many videos with monster ones that are kept with ones that are a snack size

I’ve mixed very large indos with tiny ones before. It’s not a good feeling. Lol. But they normally don’t eat each other. I’d still use a divider tho. I’m a puzzzy. Lol
