I have a silver datnoid and an electric blue jack dempsey in a 45 gallon tank. They both just sit there like a couple of slugs. They chase each other around sometimes but get along good enough and are both eating good but I wonder if I could add something else in that might get them moving around a bit or am I stuck with slugs? They are about 3" long right now. Any thoughts?
I should mention before anyone tells me I have a 125 the dat will be moving into when he gets bigger and if the EBJD decides to get stupid and agressive I'll kick him down the road.

Thanks, Kevin K.

Get some silver dollars or some type of barbs,the constant movement should get the silver going as they are usually pretty active.
