how many dats for a 220?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have 3 STs from 7" - 8.5" growing out in a 100 and they don't have any serious fights. In my 200, I had 5 from 8.5" - 10" and one of my 10 inchers was a beast and chased the others frequently. Since I've gotten rid of him, the remaining 4 all seem to get along just fine. I have also seen situations where two STs have coexisted just fine together. I think it depends a lot on the temperament of the STs you have.

I have also not seen any problems arising between my 20" silver aro and my larger STs. They pretty much leave each other alone.

I personally think you will be okay with the 3 of them together in the 220. But expect some torn tail fins for a while as they work out their pecking order.
 
i think ill get one widebar. he wont have any competion, and ill be able to afford him (at like 6 inches)

I don't think mixing a dat with a silver aro is advisable because silver are too agressive and eventhough your dat is around 6" its still won't be enough.Try Mixing dats with asian aro like red tail golden or super reds.Hope this helps sir


LOL, first off, im in usa. Next off, I CANT AFFORD AN ASIAN! THEY COST A BLOODY FORTUNE!
 
Plus asian arows are iilegal in the states unless they are like 30 years old. I got a silver arrow and a spotted gar together the gar is like twice the size of the arow and they swim next to each other all the time. I was thinking that the gar was gonna eat em but the arow puts its fins right on the gars mouth and he doesn't do anything.... thank god.

ld" NOT TRUE, even if an arrowana is 100 years old, it is still illegal to trade it to anyone other than a Public aquarium, or with a special permit (which the govt. isnt going to give anyone). The only reason that somebody can have an Asian is if they purchased it before CITES banned them, which sucks so much, just another way the MAN is trying to keep us down.
