this is my first dat ever, just picked him up yesterday.

hes about 9" currently in a 150 gal but hoping to move him to my 250 or 450 soon

he hasnt started eating yet but hes very healthy so he should come around.

wht u guys think?

Well...they're one of those fish that will pick on each other, but if you get a group, it'll spread the aggression out.

not sure, do they do better in groups?

Very nice, perfect four bar datnoid. Is he on pellets? As for rather they do better in groups the answer is no. If you want more dats you can. $90 is a steal for that guy.

Well you don't really need a group if there is a big size difference between the dats. The big dat wouldn't care about the smaller dat. Keep in mind I still have 2x smaller indo dats...

thanks! it was deff a great deal. he was eating shrimp for the previous owner. i will be getting him on shrimp, smelt, and earthworms.

from what i gather hes deff a keeper, 100% stable all the time.

i will prob just keep the one for now unless another great deal comes along

thanks guys!
