Alright, so I have a 1" indo dat right now, living in a 55 with a 8" red terror. Don't worry, it's safe, haha. But, I will be selling the red terror so that I can raise the dat. I am thinking about getting several cichlids as tank mates to grow along side the dat, as well as the usual dithers.
Here is what I was thinking about:
3-4 geophagus (probably jurupari or whatever else is available to me.)
1 gt (this is a maybe, all gts I've had were not aggressive and were continuously punked by my other fish, but then again, they were housed with stuff like jags. XP)
and later on, when the dat is around 5" or so, I may add some small p bass.
The thing is that I don't want any fish to outgrow the dat before it becomes too big to be lunch.
As for dithers I was thinking about starting with stuff like giant danios or just regular danios or aussie rainbow fish.
Don't worry, I'll have a 600+ gallon pond set up long before they outgrow my 55.
