Just wondering what you guys keep with dats.

thanks,

Nick

100G tank with 3 externals: 8 Indo dats ranging 3" to 8.5", 1 cambeli 5", 2 small 2" ntt, 1 blue JD 6", 1 flagtail 11", another flagtail 5", 2 phantom plecs 5".;)
 
I have a 150g with an O, FH, JD, 10 loaches. just trying to see if a dat could live. I also had an idea about putting egg crate in the tank so the dat could get bigger before mixing him in with the others. my lfs has 2" dats, and my other guys are like 8-9"s. idk, just an idea. I had never heard of a dat until i started hunting around this site.

The BJD used to be a right bully when I only had 3 dats. Now i got 11, its as peaceful as ever. simply out numbererd now.
Personally, I dont like any cichlids, exept BJD, cause of its striking blue.:grinno:
