hey guys, im pretty new to datnoids. i just recently bought my thinbar today with it a silver arowana in a 90 gal for now. they're about 5 inches each. i was just wondering, would taking out a drift wood affect my datnoid so much? it hides all the time. just wanna be able to see it more. it has a rock to hide in but just wondering if it would affect the datnoid if it wouldnt be able to have a big shelter. thanks guys, would appreciate the info.
taking out hiding spots?

i tried taking the driftwood out for ten minutes and i noticed that the dat got really aggressive towards the arowana. trying to claim territory i guess and chasing it if it gets too close, so scrap that idea. i might have to seperate them soon and put back the driftwood asap.

thanks buddy, but does your datnoid ever get aggressive when taking out hiding spaces? they are great fish!

bryant's right man. no hiding spaces.
the arro will grow twice as fast as the dat
mine dont get aggressive.
I agree with Ade on the aro growth rateAde;3007326; said:

I agree with this, they don't hide and are more activechrist4paul;3007392; said:
I am sorry guys I have to disagree. I understand your reasons, but I feel if the fish likes the shelter, give it to them. They will be happier for it and less stressed. In due time they will swim around. That's just my subjective opinion.
thanks guys, ill see what i can do to stop the agression and at the same time make the fish more active.
I'm with ade all the way, if the fish feels like hiding then let it.. the older/bigger the fish gets the more courage he will build and you will have a happy, active and outgoing dat. I think it is in their genes to hide when small as when you are a little guy most big guys will eat you.
