Looking good Tommy.

Thanks, I love these little guys. They're so much fun to watch because they don't just hide all the time like some other fish I've had.

Nice IT's..

Try some frozen Krill

Will do!
 
Ok, the rays were pushing the dats around so I made them a shelter that the rays cannot enter but in this shelter, one dat is picking on the other. Now one of the dats is resting on the bottom and not nearly as active as he was yesterday. He only moves when the other dat picks on him when yesterday this little dat was all over the tank. Should I remove the dats from the ray tank? Should I separate the two dats? Maybe they should each have their own hiding spot? Please give me some advice, I don't want to lose these little fellas.
 
I would add more spots. Sounds like they are fighting over territory. If they do not need to compete for space, then it should go back to how it was before you added the "shelter".
 
Thanks! I'll get some more wood or something today. My g/f is off today and I told her to keep an eye on them. She just called me and said the one that was resting on the bottom is now out and about again. I guess I'm just freaking out because these are my first Dats..:nilly:

They should b fine if u add more hiding spots.
 
ok, I'm giving them more hiding spots. Do you think I should get a third to spread the aggression? I also read that Dats like being in schools.
