will my 9" lap eat 3" indo datnoids?

Topic.

I am positive my 11ish" sen wont mess with them as he had been housed with cichlids in that range and simply did not care. Being that my faranah lap is wild caught, and growing very quickly-- I am worried she might outgrow the dats and try to eat them. I also have two ornates in the 6-7" range that might eventually outgrow them.
I have never kept datnoids before, but would like to pick up a school this week.

Thanks,
III

Persanolly I don't see polys outgrowing a dat ... They slow down around the 11" range ... And days get very big

The dats will be 5" in a year and too tall to eat. You are good.

At 3" will they be too tall to eat, or should I set up another grow out tank? I would prefer to put them straight into the 180 after quarantine.

Do you plan on getting a tank much larger than your 180?

Yeah, in two years i'll be setting up something truly massive.
