wanna-be dat keeper needs help!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I personally like my NGT he has really good color. I also have a NTT, AT and 17 IT datnoids. I also have 4 tanks running.
 
i have 5 tanks running, 2x29s, 1x55, 1x75, 1x125. i love dats and am intrigued by the NGT's pattern, but i need to find someone that will let go of some small NGTs or NTTs so i can actually use my 75 for a better reason than to just have it there.
 
the NTT's are out of season from what i know. but they would come around after the indo season goes

well to be honest, i havent used gravels for my datnoids. its harder to clean up after they eat so i prefer sand. for the datnoids. its just my preference. you can try gravel or sand however works out for you.
 
well im going to go completely hog wild on the 75, i need new filters, new heaters, new hood, new lights, new stand, and i think what i will do is take the tank out empty it out, and use pool filter sand? what kind of filtration would you recomend for me to use with the dats in a 75 gallon tank? i try to keep my tanks around 82 degrees as my fish like that (the fish in my 125). what kind of decor would a small dat(s) like? driftwood so they can hide, semi open? im not sure about how the tank should be set up to make them the happiest i can make them
