Just got some new Datnoids an NTT and Indo

[sturgeonlover]

Hey guys just got 2 new Datnoids. A smaller indo and a bigger NTT. I have a bigger Indo and another NTT in the tank.

Got a problem though, the bigger INDO does not like the smaller INDO at all, as of right now, the smaller indo is hiding behind my filter tube. Has not eatten and just stays there. The bigger Indo is ok with both NTT's, just doesnt like the smaller guy. before to extinguish aggression towards a newer Dat I took out the aggressive dat in the tank for a week and reintroduced them and everything was fine(thats when I had only 2 datnoids). Right now I have four (2 indos 2 NTTs). Would that work right now?

Or do you guys have any other suggestions. THANSK!!

Take a look.

i used to have 4 dats, 6 inches each, they beat the crap out of 1 and gradually fight among each other..pretty normal for me lol, btw thats a NICE 3 bar indo, i like

My colony gets along great. The 10" indos will sometimes chase my really bright smaller indo but has never caused any harm. The big guys totally ignor the 3-5" group I have.

So what do you think? I should just let it be or should I try to attempt or figure out a way to make them get along?

So you think I should leave them alone and see what happens or should I take out the bigger indo and reintroduce to the tank?

THANKS!! what you think bro, how can I create a peace treaty with the big indo towards the little one?

My guess is they need to sort things out. I have not seen dats tear each other apart....So long as they have hides....your defensive indo looks like it is just defending its space...how big is the tank?

120g 48x24x24. He is fine with the other two, just taking it out on the little guy. I added the new 2 yesterday so I dont know how long he is going to corner this little guy. He was the one at first getting picked on by my NTT when I first got the INDO, so I took out the NTT and put it back in in a week, NTT doesnt bother him anymore. Now this guy picks on that little guy.

From what I understand NGTs are more aggressive, maybe the Indo doesn't wanna mess with them because they're supposedly more aggressive. I've found that increased numbers creates more and more peace in my tank. I have six Indos 1.5"-2" and one 5" Silver. When I had two and three Indos I noticed one dominate one stood out and the others often hid, once I had four the aggression subsided and the more I got the more they all got along.
