I read that if there are a lot of NGTs in a tank, aggression would be lessened. However, is it possible to have just 2 or 3 NGTs together?
Multiple NGTs in a tank

may be possible depending on each fish!
but to be honest no bro,
NGT are the worst when it comes to aggression in tigers,
my NGT will beat up on my IT on certain occasions when it comes to territory!
you would need either a very large tank or multiple tigers to spread aggression,
i do not reccomend it though unless you have a 200+gallon

Depends if the owner wants to risk it or not.
I have had for 3 months...3 ngt (7, 3.5 and 3 inch), together with other Indos, various sizes. Bit of a risk, but I think the indos keep the bigger ngt under control. Bout a week ago, the bigger ngt got beaten up bad, and it wasnt by the smaller ngt's.
Make sure you have loads of other tigers to spread aggression and set up a QT tank just in case u need to seperate, thats what i did. Ill probably sell a couple off in the near future.
I very much doubt, 3 similar sized ngt will work (big or small)
I very much doubt, 2 similar sized ngt will work
I very much doubt mutiple NGTS are a good idea long-term. But it can be done short- term.

That's too bad. I would really like to have more than 1 NGT in the tank. I think they look great. I love their bright yellow color. Anyone else has any experiences with keeping multiple NGTs long term?
It can be done if you get 5 or more (fewer than that is asking for trouble) NGTs of the same size in a large enough tank with plenty of driftwood and paces to hide .
I'm pretty sure that datnoid101 and alfon76 accomplished this successfully.

me too! i had three 3" ngts at one time and it was fine until one died ~5" so i had to sell one cuz the other one would pick on it sometimes.
NGT are the most aggressive of all datnoids. They would probably be fine together until up to around 8 inches. Best to get a community and not several NGTs
