What do you keep your dats with?????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
my 2 ntts @ 4" & 6" are living with my 13" jar, 6" green terror, 6" JD, 2 red hooks, the jar keeps everyone in their order, so there's no conflict between the cichlids and the dats

would a 6 inch indo Dat be fine with 9 to 10 inch peacock bass?I would be putting them in a big tank at the same time?

Um i think at that sort of size it could work but the bass will grow much quicker than the dat. I think it works best with dats 8"+.

I agree bruce...that's definitely going to be pushing it. You figure with the 2/3 size rule, a 6" dat with a 9" PBass is the smallest to consider in the same tank. Factor in a couple of months of growth, and that dat is lunch.
 
My dats are mixed with my frt, clown loaches, flagtail, redhead sev., and aro
 
I have 1 indo dat 3.25" with 2 VATF 6" and 2 mono sabaes that are about 6". All are doing fine and no attacks. All my fish mind their own (so far).
 
I keep mine with siamese bumblebee catfish, walking catfish, san juan corys, sterbai corys, butterfly plecos, xingu royal plecos, leopard cactus plecos, archers, nandus, silver arowanas, clown loaches, striped raphaels, kuhlii loaches, leopard ctenopomas, lapradei, ornate, delhezi, palmas buettikoferi, senegal, baramundi, climbing perches, juruense cat
 
I have approx 3 2" indos in with 4 small fronts 1.5"-3".
