Large datnoids with smaller datnoids??

[T]

eh soulfish, u have ur 1 inch indos with a 7 inch dat? really???
i did a small experiment.
one of my small dats got stuck in my standup pipe cuz im keeping them in my overflow to grow out. and it died. so i took the indo and i dropped it into my community tank. my pulchers in there aroudn 6-7 inches left it alone and just looked at it while it was falling and on the ground. only my leichartdi tried eating it and eventually my motoro ate it. so im guessing u coudl put them together. but i rather not risk it. i like my indos

no right now the 1cher is in a 20gal.

the Nadus and big dat are tankmates. I'm getting those two guys next weekend to put them into my empty ninety. But I'm wanting to grow that little dat fast, so he's gonna need more space. He's eating like a champ, just want to gove him some more swining room. I guess I should just replace the 20 Gal which is over stocked for a 50Gal soon. Maybe then I could go pick up two more small dats

u coudl prolly keep the dats in the 20 till it hits 2-3 inches. i have my dats in my overflow which is prolly only 5 gallons. they are grwoing. i notice growth every week. once they hit aroudn 1.5 inches there going into the community.

o by the way if ur plannign on testing if the dats will eat small indos. with tiger barbs. it doesnt work. my dats ate all of them within going into the tank. it was pretty fun to watch

You might have more success with more datnoids bro.

If you get a group of 3+ it should work better.

when i had them together they got on real well.
i only removed it after it got what looked like datniod disease but it is almost healed now.
it will be added back into the main tank soon after i sel some of my other stuff and need the cube tank its on for my reef.
getting more is something to look into though its just finding widebars where the problem lies
