the dats are indo datnoids...IT. Do better as a solo fish or groups of 3 or more. The more fish the more the aggression will be spread out.

THe bass could be mono or occel or a mix. ONly time will tell. What is the temp of your tank?
 
YOu need another heater then. BOth the datnoids and the bass can get ich very easily. The temp should be 82 at the very least. I would reccomend 86-87. Increase the temp a couple degrees a day. And do that asap. A lg air pump and airstone would also benefit your fish greatly.
 
I have airstones, going into the tank, I will buy another heated then! 86 will be the aim! thanks for the help
