so I picked up 4 dats sight unseen for my 125. when i got them i realized they were too small for the fish in my 125 so I am growing them out in my 50 gallon (they are 2-3 inches)...they are in there with a baby whale and an elephant nose fish. No aggression so far but they did go pretty unstable after being in there for a day. they are eating well but hide most of the time. anybody else keep dats with these kind of fish? any foreseeable problems for me?
 
The tank mates in te 55 g seem fine. Just make sure the tigers get fed and manage to eat. Once the tigers are 5 inch, they should be moved.
The corys may be at risk, but only once the tigers are 5 Inc plus..... Try should be ok as the corys are not the tastiest looking snacks....

How bug are the oscars, butcher and pike?
 
oscars are at least 9 inches, pike is 8 and bichirs are 10..i have loaches and 2 giant danios in there as well as a smaller flying fox and none of the bigger fish bother them at all. I think I will just keep them in the 55 since they grow so slow they should be ok for quite some time in there hopefully
