Uaru's + birchir and dat??

[David R]

Good idea?? I've always liked uaru's since keeping two a while back. I've got a small P. palmas and a tiger dat currently in a 4'x20"x20" tank (will be upgraded to 180g or similar in the next few years) and I'm looking for a few more fish to go with them. I'd like some sort of cichlids, or I might get another couple of dats (if I can find any!). I thought the uaru's would be a good choice as they get big enough to avoid being eaten, but arent really aggressive like most large CA/SA cichlids.

more dats

Uarus should be fine.

should work providing they are all of equal sizes. Bichir and Dat can be bigger since they are not that aggresive.

 

[piranha45]

that would make for an awesome setup.

Thanks, I'll start searching for some small-ish uaru's then!
