I have one 2" Dat microlepis. If I want to add more, how many do I need to get to diffuse aggression? ie What's the smallest number that works?
How many Dats together to minimize aggression?

Im not sure there is an exact number to tell you. I had three and am down to one because two got picked on to death, though not sure by what. 2 may even work for you but I think I would probably do 3-4.
Total of 3-4 or 3-4 more. (I know I am splitting hairs but at $25 a piece I need to.) By the way, u still got the Jar? Get my message?
3-4 is the lowest amount together i would keep to keep agression down. If you just keep 2 the bigger one will force the smaller dat to a corner of the tank so it can hog the food which will cause him to grow slower. The more room in a tank for 2 dats helps alittle too. I would get 2 more dats if i were you.
2 will work if you have a massive size difference say a 10 inch with a 4 inch
from what i have seen even if you have 20 you will still get aggression
if its a IT NTT or NGT just keep one per tank and you wont have aggression and the tiger will be more stable

i have 6 in a 125 gal all between 1.5 and 3 inch doing great some chasing but nothing major id say atleast 5 im thinking of getting 4 more but not sure as i will already have to upgrade within the next few years when they start to get to the duble digits in size thats if they growth slows down i got them at about 3/4 of an inch about 3 months ago and some are growing like crazy they say they slow growers but mine seem to be getting big in no time at all
