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

While I cannot guarantee that the bigger dats won't eat the smaller ones I have never heard of cannibalism in datdom. Usually,the more you have the better the chances of them coexisting as a pair will begin to fight at some point.

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

I tried a divider when the 2” one was chasing the little one around and both my dats turned dark so I took it out. Now they’re both stable but keep to each side. Maybe I’ll need to get another and hope the chasing stops.

Guess I don’t have to shop anymore. Bigger one didn’t make it. I noticed that both it’s eyes were white and were popped out at feeding time. It didn’t eat and when I went to check on them Judy’s now it was dead.
