Vampire tetra

[DiscusManiac11]

Planning on getting a 3.5 inch vampire tetra, to put w/ my three small dats in my 90. will this set up work?

Dats and Vampire tetra get HUGE as well so no in the not so distant future you would need a lot BIGGER tank

Hydrolycus scomberoides doesn't get huge and dats take ages...

i dont have personal experience with this species but from everything iv read they get 2ft or more, that's pretty HUGE to me, do they not actually get that big?

 

[uhjkool]

Hydrolycus scomberoides can reach 4 feet and and the Hydrolycus armatus can reach 2 feet either way I think too large for a 90 gallon.

ANy other ideas on types of fish?

WRONG.
armatus have been known to get to 3 feet in captivity,4 feet wild.
fishbase is wrong.
scombs are the ones that die around 1 feet for no apparent reason.
ive heard many horror stories of dats plucking out armatus eyeballs.
